Have you heard that watermelon or sugar melon can be eaten in any other 

 form than raw? Here, at Dr. Engelbach's I ate the preserved melons and found 

 them very tasty. At this time I have to mention the white walnut preserved 

 in sugar which is also very tasty. 



You would do me a great favour if you would keep some stones of the 

 Chickasaw for me. I don't know whether it is easy to distinguish them from 

 the common variety. — Also of pears, as much as you are able to find. I am 

 afraid it will be too late when I come down. 



Sincerely yours, 

 Chas. A. Geyer 



Dr. Engelbach sends his regards.
