Mr Van Dyke got home yesterday afternoon and said to tell you that George W. James has succeeded in getting all the pictures he wanted from that German Artist and that the poor fellow was almost starving now - just as you warned him it would be. Here on the ranch they are …

Your note of the 13th inst enclosing the "James letter", which I herewith return to you, came duly to hand.
I showed the "James" letter to Vroman & left with him, to consider more at his lesuire, a copy thereof.

Daggett - Oct 13 - 1908Dear Papa -We received the two crates of fine grapes all right and have been feasting ever since. As Mr Van Dyke is still in Los Angeles I gave the grapes to Dick. The agent here said fifty cents was the right price, that a mistake had been made in charging me eighty-five, and he would pay me the difference.I think the inclosed bill is all right tho' awfully large I know. It is one of those I thought Wanda has paid. Glorious weather here. Im well and ever happy.LovinglyHelen04299

We should have wished in this case, as in the case of "Our National Parks", to have offered you a royalty upon a sliding scale, but in view of the small size of this book and the necessarily low price at which it must be sold, a royalty of straight ten per cent has seemed to us an equitable arrangement, for while, owing to …

Is it not then desirable for the Executive Board to take some action in the …
