Home May 29, 1908. Darling Helen: Here is a deed for Valona blocks for your signature I suppose it will have to be sent
to San Bernardino, like the others you signed before Mr Van Dyke. It's cloudy windy with low barometer today, but quite warm.
It may be all this more on the lovely Mohave for your favorite basking blowing but too torrid I fear for poor Wanda Be good
to her with coolest shady places keep her as long as you can. Tom went to town today He says he is going to send you cherries.
A little boy who lives near McNamara's came this afternoon for flowers for his fathers grave. I gave him all he could carry.
In the P.M. he came again with a little brother about 4 yrs old who, when he gazed at the glorious mass of geraniums said
Gee I wish Mamma would buy this place, but I spose it would be worth a million dollars. Ever affectionately John Muir
