Letter from Salloum to Alice Mokarzel Jaoudi

A letter from Salloum to his daughter, Alice Mokarzel, written in New York City. In this letter, dated June 21, 1926, Salloum expects that Alice must be very busy because she hasn't written to him as frequently as she used to. This is because as the school year is drawing to a close, Alice is preparing for her exams. Mary sent him a copy of an Arabic paper with a picture of Alice and Rose and in her letter, she explained that Alice is starting to take a better liking to life in Lebanon. Salloum has yet to return to Cranford, New Jersey because he knows that it will give him heartache to go back to the place filled with memories of the girls and the good times they spent together. In closing, Salloum tells Alice she will soon receive a copy of "The Syrian World" and asks that she gives her opinion of it.
