Transcription:
My house No is 320 West California St. letterhead Dec 29, 1907 Dear Mr Muir- We were greatly shocked at what you wrote
about poor Helen. The desert is an interesting place to visit but to be banished there for two years seems very hard. I did
not answer your letter because I was trying to find some one who had acquaintances at Moh illegible - B illegible or some
other eating home town on the desert, but so far have not succeeded. I met Lukens he says he recomended you going to a ranch
near Dagget, but I thought it would be better to get near some town where there was a illegible eating house so you could
get eastern illegible - Neither he or I know whether you have started yet or not, but hope daily to hear from you. We are
not in our house yet it looks as tho' it would be at least 2 weeks more before we get there. It seems an illegible able job
to get it ready. Our goods servants are all here. Do let us hear from you when you get located. Mrs Sellers joins me in love
sympathy for you both Yours sincerely A.H. Sellers 04002
