Summary:
Johann writes that he is satisfied with Christian's travel plans and asks that Christian confirm these plans on behalf of himself and his daughter Zilla Alvena. He thinks they should leave Chicago on the 25th of April, and advises that they bring their citizenship papers with them, to avoid any "unpleasant developments." He encloses $20 to cover the cost of the travel commitments.
