Home June 8, 1908. Darling Helen. I'm getting desperately lonesome for you must make haste with Stikeen on to Daggett
I'm trying to keep the place fine for your sake. In the afternoons I often go down into the parlor when it is full of mellow
golden light, it looks perfectly lovely, And in the morning the sitting room is charming also with its pictures fire-place
pillows etc. I take good care of your rubber tree. It is putting out new leaves magnificent in size shape. Your bedroom pictures
are glorious in the afternoons. The roses are past prime; The geraniums are now the grand feature of the garden. They seem
to be ten times as flowery as ever befor
