Beyrout

British P.O.

Syria

I will be glad to hear from you as often as you find time to write. Rec'd my 2nd letter since leaving home the other day. (Sarah's, including Charles and Alice's) But I have been so taken up with my travels and now so busy studying that I don't have time for homesickness. Please send money in drafts. The Deseret National Bank will know the best way to send it. I trust this will find all well. Aft. Your son, John A. Clark

P.S.

The mail leaves for America to-day. I suppose Conference will begin in a day or two if it has not already; all will enjoy the privilege of attending. None of us takes the news. I wish it could be sent. Bro. Musser says the country (some parts of it) is trying on one's eyes. Please send me a pair of those glasses I have been wearing, "London smoke glass" they are called, price $1. If there is a pair home with a little repair that will do. There are some darker and the glass oval, they are not good. My eyes are perfectly well but I want to keep them so. I have lots of hard work before me, but I am enjoying it. With love to all I remain as ever. John
