3 not be surprised if I invite you to take a trip on board the Rush with me about October but I don t care to say anything
about it yet. Mrs Hooper is very anxious to return to California and to me it makes very little difference, so now it looks
as if I might go back. I am still in your debt financially and will send you another book soon if you want any one specially
I will be glad to send it. would you like any of the Government publications? We have all had a turn at the sick? mill since
coming to Washington but just now we are all right Mrs Hooper joins in kindest regards to yourself and family. Poor DeLong
what a sad fate. Yours truly C. L. Hooper 01069
