My Dear John,

Little Helen is now laughing & playing with Wanda & Francie out in the garden, but this morning after you left she grieved and trembled so and her little hands turned icy cold, we were frightened and carried her to the kitchen and chafed her hands and feet in the warmth of the open oven, then Wanda called in

Elfie and that little dog seemed just human in understanding the trouble, for it curled up in baby’s arms and coaxed and petted and showed so much loving sympathy that …

Dear brother and sister,

It is long since I wrote to you and I am ashamed of it. When I last wrote to sister Maggie, I thought to write to you before laying my pen and paper away, but weeks have fled since then, We should like much to see you, and were hoping that some or all of you would be in Chicago some time during the spring or summer – and that we might have the happiness of seeing you. I can hardly think of a greater pleasure than that …

You doubtless know today that our friend Irish has failed to get the Land Commissionership. He is now saying that he did not want it, and is asking for something at home,-probably the San Francisco Collectorship. If California wants him she ought to have him. Heine said: "Every country has the Jews it deserves", and we would not rob California for the world.
One of your recent notes to me helped to the business.
