Transcription:
Daggett, Cal. May 5th Dear Papa This is a fine morning on the desert - full of sunshine. It is ten degrees warmer than
yesterday, and I am feeling very cheerful. All goes well here and everyone is busy haying. I got weighed yesterday - Im 133
lbs. and that is above my usual summer weight. Alice Manson sent me some more flowers from San Bernardino yesterday. Also
a big box of oranges and grapefruit - thats nice . My little geranium slips are trying to bloom since the shower and are doing
well. There are a great many doves around the ranch the last few days - I like to hear them. I must go now and look after
my horse, so good-bye for today. Ever yours Helen 04174
