Martinez Apr. 10, 1913 Darling Helen I'm so glad you're going back home to the desert the only place you seem able to
keep well in. I hope you are settled ere this that your health is already beginning to mend. Spare no expense in helpful
servants. For if you keep on working night day with your children husband cooking sweeping waiting on the table etc etc as
you have been doing all will soon come to a sad end. Therefore give heed to your devoted father. Send me a few words very
often
