in margin: (Leaf of scarlet oak not yet scarlet) Hello Helen. How are Mozemgasear Co.? The rain continues we may be here
all day. I hope we will, for the views from the veranda are very fine. Mountains waving hills rising in board billows beyond
each other all richly covered with the most beautiful trees. I would like to stay a year. How deliciously fresh the air is
full of the scents of the woods. I am to see Agarriz Hunnewell so Sargent says. Page wants to show me the Boston writers.
He has a months non illegible cut out for me which of course must be cut down. Page says the bird beast articles are just
right as they are must be published immediately. He is to send the proof sheets of the birds to Baltimore. I'm having a fine
time Canby Sargent good as can be watch the fires. With much love to all Your loving brother J.M.
