1 Martinez California July 25. 1893. My dear Papa We received your two delightful letters, the one from Dunbar Scotland
and also the one from Liverpool when you first landed. I am glad that you are having such a nice time it must seem strange
to see the same things that you saw so many years ago and I only wish that I could be with you now to see them. Helen is very
well although the weather is very warm and there are a good many mosketos, or rather a bad many mosketos. Miss Edith Blassdell
