At May's Friday morning

Dec. 29, 1905

Darlings I got home last evening instead of Wednesday evening - a whole day late. Our train was 11 hrs late at Barstow & passed Muir at 3 or 4 o'clock Thursday morning, so I went on to Richmond, slept until the porter woke me at 7.25 to take the boat for San Francisco where I spent the day & came back on the 4 o'clock train. There was no frost or snow beyond Williams & all hereabouts seems a new heavens & earth strangely tropical but less beautiful that the white Adamana …

Berkeley, christmas Day, 1905

Mr. Muir, Miss Wanda & Helen Muir:

Dear Friends:

On this glad day of friendship and of reunions my thoughts turn instinctively to you in your exile and loneliness, and I cannot forbear sending you my greeting - too late indeed to be of avail in brightening this day, mournful and lonely as it is, I fear, but a greeting warm and sincere in its goodwill, which will not come amiss, I hope, on any day. I greatly appreciated Mr. Muir's letter of Nov. 8, and rejoiced in its more hopeful news of Helen's state, and …

In sun or shade, in box or pot.

How right to plant, how best to grow,

Dear Mr Lukens,

I had hoped to see you ere this but have been prevented by a lot of obstacles. Helen after gaining seemingly almost perfect recovery, able to ride 30 or 40 miles a day had a dangerous relapse & was in bed 10 days. This was about 4 weeks ago, she has made a rapid recovery - is now about as you saw her last & we hope the terrible lesson will make her truly careful hereafter. With warm best wishes to you all & hoping your dear

My dear Cousin,

We all thank you for your kind sympathy in our bereavement, which came so suddenly on us. Up to her last day my noble wife was not aware of the hopelessness of recovery, nor indeed were any of us though warned by the doctors a month before. She suffered but little pain; was cheerful, & at last simply fell asleep.
I am still very anxious about Helen. Twice after gaining almost perfect health she brought on inflamation of the left lung by careless over-exertion, riding 30 or 40 miles on horseback a day …

Dear Mr. Murdoch:

I thank you very much for your kind letter of sympathy in our bereavement. My noble wife suffered but little, and up to the last day fully expected to recover. Her only care seemed to be about Helen who had pneumonia about two years ago, and the affected lung is still a source of constant anxiety to Wanda and I [me] . She recovered so rapidly she took no heed to the danger of overexertion; consequently she has had two dangerous relapses - the last, only a few weeks ago in Arizona …
