Letter from Michel Saykali to his brother Georges Saykali, 20 January 1924.

رسالة من ميشال إلى أخيه جورج، ٢٠ كانون الثاني ١۹٢٤

Letter from Michel to his brother Georges. He tells him about America and that only 10% of the arriving people are having a successful life, whereas 50% are having a medium life, and others are dying from poverty and misery. People think they will find pleasure and comfort in America when, in fact, they are facing fire and death.

رسالة من ميشال إلى أخيه جورج. يخبره فيها عن أميركا وكيف أن عشرة بالمئة من الواصلين اليها ينجحون، فيما حين أن خمسين بالمئة تكون حالتهم وسط، وثلاثين بالمئة يسددون حاجاتهم وعشرة بالمئة يموتون فقراء تعساء. فهم يظنون أنهم ذاهبون الى بلاد الراحة والهناء والملذات فيصلون ويجدون بانتظارهم النار والموت.
