Ma chere maman, j'ai cru lorsque nous sommes arrives le 31 Decembre a Dakar que nous allions partir immediatement pour Marseille. Pas du tout. Apres avoir embarque 220 tonnes de charbon et pris de l'eau nous sommes alles a Rufisque ou nous completons en ce moment notre chargement. Les cales sont pleines et les sacs s'entassent en pyramides sur les ponts avant et arriere. Ce soir le chargement sera complet et nous irons alors a Dakar. Nous y passerons une journee, donc demain soir dans la nuit ou apres demain, nous mettrons le cap sur Gibraltar. Nous arriverons probablement le 14 a Marseille (vers 14)."

content: Translated handwritten text on verso reads, "Rufisque. January 2, 19--. Dear mom, when we reached Dakar on December 31, I thought we would directly return to Marseille. Wrong! We did load 220t. of coal as well as water. Then we went to Rufisque where we now complete full loading of the ship. By tonight we should be done and then we will go to Dakar. We will call there for a day before leaving during the night or the next day to Gibraltar. We should arrive in Marseille by the 14th."
