Daggett, California March 4 - 08 Dear Papa - It is sprinkling a little this morning so I may not be able to get this
mailed in time for the No. 3, but Ill try anyway. We are all right here and things are going smoothly. I help Mary a little
with the cooking, and she sweeps my shanty for me, and the keeping of it in order is very easy. So we dont miss Miss Brodt.
I got a nice 04082 2 letter from her yesterday telling of her safe arrival in Berkeley. She also wrote to Mr Van Dyke
thanking him for his kindness to her. I got my money order cashed yesterday and will settle up with Mr Van Dyke today. How
are you? I do hope you're not living up there all alone on bread and tea. May wrote to me a few days ago and said she wished
you could come there to eat oftener, 04082
