Mr R Noble

Asst Steward

SS Furnessia

c/o Anchor Line Offices

North River, New York USA

Dear Robbie,

I seen the old Furnessia "Westward Ho", hardly a living soul conspicuous only one man in white overalls appearently a cook or steward. She passed silently about 7 am. I was dissapointed(sic) not seeing you.

What do you think of Jamaica Brig? Caught in a slack time I should think. Would you rather have it than Brooklyn [Bridge]?I think you would by 3000 miles. Well its grand to think the old yin wins by such a long distance.

I hope Miss B & Miss L Green is fine.

PS: Hoping this finds you in good form as usual if so you won't fear rubbing against Jack Johnston

Best wishes & a pleasant voyage

George

Jamaica Street Bridge, Glasgow, Scotland.
