Je profite des 3 heures d'arrêt que j'ai ici pour faire une promenade dans la ville, déjeuner à l'Hôtel d'Orient tenu par M. Francurot, un Français, et vous adresser de mes nouvelles. Bon voyage très rapide, quoique ce soit l'express : 30 kilomètres à l'heure pendant 12 heures.
Meilleurs embrassements.
Votre fils respectueux

I am taking advantage of the 3-hour stop I have here to take a walk through the city, have lunch at the Hôtel d’Orient run by Mr. Francurot, a Frenchman, and send you some news. The trip has been very quick, even though it’s the express: 30 kilometers per hour for 12 hours.
Warmest regards.
Your respectful son
