letterhead in margin: Send word to Mrs Sellers, Mrs Thompson Mrs Jones Hello Darling Helen, You now seem precious near,
for all my wanderings over South America Africa are done I start today for New York on the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria of the
Hamburg American line. So now there is nothing left of the big hard trip but homegoing with fond hopes of finding you all
well. I'm quite well myself have had wonderful luck in my studies health everything. I suppose the incomparable boy is now
quite manly. I'll be in New York by the 26th of March, but may have to read bookproof for a week or two. Write to me telling
me all about Wanda her wondrous offspring c/o R.U. Johnson. The Century Magazine Union Square, New York Ever your devoted
father John Muir Naples, March 15th 1912
