Transcription:
San Jose, Oct. 7. 1894 Dear Muir: I have lived over our visit many times, and always with a pleasant remembrance of our
host who spake by the record, Sir: and his illegible able lady, to say nothing of the School ma'am . Now, what I want to
know is,--when are you going to get so tired of writing that you will come and spend a few days with us? You know, Mt. Hamilton
is in sight and I have not forgotten your promise. I cannot mail you that book, The Sillen? Gun, but will either hold it
until you come, or bring it to S. F. and leave it where you can get it. I want to have you read it, for I know you will enjoy
it. In default of that I send you Shasta Spring, simply to ask you if you ever took carbonic gases in this form before? All
are well, and we'uns send kindly greetings to you'uns. Yr Chas. H. Allen 01851
