Darling Helen:

Tom returned from Berkeley this morning. He says Wanda feels better than at any time since the baby's birth, & will probably visit you in about 2 weeks I think she ought to make you a very long visit for her health. Of course nothing has been done on the House trade.
The Sec. of the Interior has at last decided the Hetch Hetchy question, & we have won the long-fought battle. Manson's trip was all in vain. He was told the case was closed & was refused by Garfield. Hurrah

We will be particularly glad to give the book a place upon our fall list, which is, as it chances, an uncommonly good one; and we …

Darling Helen:

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
