I hope you are having a pleasant season in Martinez I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed the day in your home, and the kind
hospitality of you and Mr. Muir. I hope the young ladies are well. My daughters are in school and very busy.I came home from
the West with a renewed stock of health and have been very well indeed until two or three weeks ago when I caught this wretched
cold which has made me very illindeed. Did you see the fine things said of Mr. Muir's book in the New York newspapers? The
Evening Post had a charming notice of it.I am sending you herewith one of our publications, called P'tit Matinic Monotones
which is such a pretty bit of book making I thought you might care for it.With kind remembrance to all the members of your
household, believe me to be, my dear Mrs. Muir, Yours very sincerely, Illegible 08548
