I'm getting desperately lonesome for you & must make haste with Stikeen & on to Daggett
I'm trying to keep the place fine for your sake.

It is putting out new leaves magnificent in size & shape. Your bedroom pictures are glorious in the afternoons. …

I got into warm clothes yesterday for I felt a change coming, and last night I had lots of blankets, so Ive not minded the weather. Being Sunday, we all got up late this …

I have got the three deeds at last -
Helen to Wanda
Wanda to Helen &
Wanda & Helen to John Muir
A few slight errors will have to be corrected & I will probably not get off until Saturday. Some Valona business also to be attended to - Made quite a sale yesterday of $400.00 & the wharf rent of 500- recently paid will make you quite moneyful.
Be very careful to guard against sudden changes in temperature - a single chill may undo all your hard won health gains.

Ever Yours
