25/3 Martinez, Jan, 11, 1902 Mrs Emily P. Wehon Dear friend of auld lang syne I'm delighted to find you see your handwriting
after this long silence. It is wonderful how people drift apart on varying currents of duty work without intention. I've never
forgotten you - never forget any of my old friends, but I'm usually in the wilderness all summer in my study all winter so
I seldom make visits. Oakland seems farther away than Alaska, - have not made a single visit in your town during the last
fifteen years.
