In this letter Suleiman Farhat writes to his wife Katrina Sa'ade from Fort Worth, US. He explains that he is travelling for work to buy merchandise and is excited to return to Katrina and two of their children, Mary and Fred. The family was still split up at this point with George (their first son) still living with the Farhat family in Palestine after Katrina's departure in 1934.

These images exist as part of the Katrina Sa'ade Letters collection within the Katrina Sa'ade project of the Planet Bethlehem Archive.
