Letter in Bible:
To buy ticket to carry my body to Wilmington, N.C. where I wish to be buried
in my Father's lot; when my Heavenly Father call me-home. The ticket is not
expensive and telegraph to Mr. Louise BUNTING to make arrangements at
cemetery. I wish to be buried from, St. John's Church, Jacksonville, Fla.---
Kyle? making arrangements were I not --- this money to be used for anything
else unless I am in great need while living, and it will pay for ticket and I
guess will pay for all expenses in Wilmington.
With my heart full of love for everybody and Thanks.
Sallie L. HOLMES.
