Transcription:
letterhead Lucerne, Switzerland Aug 12. 1893. Dear Helen- I was up a beautiful mountain yesterday. It was just covered
with lovely flowers in most places, I gathered some of them for you A good many trees grow on it - beautiful spruces but not
so large as the California spruce. There are hundreds of mountains hereabouts snowy icy on the top, green flowery on the sides
with trees? about their feet oh so many lovely lakes water falls. With much love from loving papa J.M.
