Summary:
Johann is sending $248.70 to cover the cost of the tickets for the trip to Saanen, Switzerland. He asks whether Christian wishes to leave on the morning of the 25th or 26th of April, so that he can arrange his train from St. Paul to Madison. He also wants to know how Christian is planning on bringing money on the trip, whether in the form of checks or postal money orders.
