May 30", 1894

Dear Mother;

lnclosed is some incense, which I obtained in the oldest Christian church in existence. It has stood since the 2" century and has been used uninterruptedly. Please slide it into a little bottle; it is quite a souvenir I think.

These blossoms are two kinds of the geraniums. I shall ask the lady to let me have the seed of them.

Truly,

John,

P.S. I must mention having received Annie's and Sarah's letters shall mail letters to them next time. I wrote to Bearlake to W.W. Eugene. Don't wait for each other to write.
