Transcription:
Klamath Falls, Pelican Lodge, Oregon. August 21, 1908. Darling Helen. Ive been in this charming camp a week have been
kept so busy dictating autobio stuff I'm fairly dizzy most of the time, I can't get out of it for there's no withstanding
Harrimans stenographer under orders I intended stopping only a day or two but H wouldn't hear of it and ordered me to stay
until he showed me how to write books I've never been so task-driven in a literary way before. I don't know when Ill get away
get free from this beneficent bondage, probably not sooner than week after next Keith is on his way here is expected tomorrow
evening I'll tell you promptly how the muggins behaves. The mail launch is about to start. Write me as soon as you get this
tell me dear that you are as well or better than ever give my kindest regards to the Van Dykes Funks. Heaven keep you darling.
Ever your devoted father JM.
