OUT WEST Editor's Office Los Angeles, Cal., Sunday, 1905 Dear Louie and darlings: I arrived at the fine Lummis home
about 8 o'clock this morning, and feel at home, but have not yet been able to decide on a place for our first camp. I am now
sending back your pass which I forgot to leave with you. Be very careful to pin it in a safe place in traveling. I'll let
you know the day I start as soon as possible. Nothing will be gained by too great hurry, for I think I can get letters that
will be very useful and comforting to us sage brush orpans orphans from others besides Mr. L. We are going to have a grand
healing time. Ever loving Papa, J.M. The weather is almost cool here. Send letters, should you have to write or telegraph
address 200 Avenue 43. Just as I wrote the word telegraph you telegram was handed to me. 03575
