Old Home. Apr 26/08 Darling Helen, I'm so glad you found my big boquet so fresh fine amid the alfalfa Gray? plains I knew
you would enjoy it I must send you another before the glory here begins to fade. Tom said last eve on returning from Berkeley
that Wanda was feeling fine, that she sat on the lawn yesterday 4 or 5 hours expected to be with you about the middle of May.
Tom is going to take Master Strentzel to see her this week. Poor Wanda must have been more seriously ill than was at first
made known, but there seems no doubt she is getting better. The garden here is far more glorious in bloom than ever before
in margin: Those Escholtzias everything You planted are fairly shouting their color - joy blessing your loving hands Love
to all God bless you Darling my Joy pride J.M.
