Luck chain letter (postcard). Ancient Prayer type. "Sign nothing but day received." US, 1912.


Received April 19th An Ancient Prayer
Prepare "O Lord Jesus Implore thee
Bless all mankind. Keep us to dwell
with you Eternally." This prayer
was sent to me and is to be sent all
over the world. Copy it and see what
will happen. It was sent in Jesus
time. Those who passed it by would
meet with some misfortune. Those who

will on the 9th receive some great joy.
Do not break the chain
