I was in S. F. yesterday & sent you a lot of semi-edible knicknacks from Goldberg. & Tom sent you peaches. Your own are just beginning to ripen & are rather small, but the best of them will not seem worthless on the hot desert. The pears are still too green but Ill send some in a week or two to ripen in the Mohave oven. Be careful about drinking too much ice water, getting too tired, or suddenly chilled. In particular be careful how you undertake excursions at this time of year away …
