I like the not from the margin, "Kiss all the children for me. I ever see them and you in my mind." There is a page change in the middle, with an entirely diferent subject. He talks of helping with the immigration, and hoping his family can meet a woman who has helped him on his mission.
[Upper margin] kis all of the Children for me[.] i Ever see them and you in my mind[.] god bless
