From the [I]Vegetarian Messenger[/I] (Manchester, England), July 1890, p217:

Kansas. - On the 11th of last month our society held a very enjoyable pic-nic in a beautiful grove about three miles from the city, where, surrounded by the beauties of nature we enjoyed a feast of reason and a flow of soul, and partook of a beautiful dinner of fruits, nuts, and cereals. After dinner Mr. W. W. Perkins, a veteran of 77 years, and 40 years a Vegetarian, made us a very interesting address. With best wishes for your prosperity, and the progress of "right living," I am, very truly yours, - W. G. Church
