Transcription:
June 1904 Dear Mr Harriman. I have been anxious to see you ever since I got home, of course I want to tell you something
of what I saw in Russia, Siberia, Manchuria, India, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand the Philippines. These travel things however
will keep indefinitely. But sending me that comforting cable message from Salt Lake to make everything easy on the crowded
Siberia was mighty good kind of you I want to thank you for it face to face. Above all I want to thank you for the letter
you sent after me from your sick bed, which reached me at Moscow on my return from Crimea the Caucasus. That letter full of
thoughtful care for me when you were in the midst of infinite mortal trouble was heart-touching. I'll never forget it shall
always be faithfully yours J.M. 03364
