Transcription:
Martinez, Jan. 8. 1897. Dear Mary. Your letter came in due time here is another you are beginning the New year with less
silence so we will now be able perhaps to renew our acquaintance Your fine storms must inspire your muse No need of me to
tell their glories. All our hills are green a good many of the flowers are in bloom birds are singing. tens of thousands of
robins are feeding in the orchards vineyards, also a good many larks. Your friend Miss Thayer is downstairs- just came with
Mrs. Westlake to pay us a visit. She has a merry far-reaching laugh. You spoke of handing over that Scotch money to me. I
dont know but it might be a good plan, not that I want it for myself, but for you. after Taking out what you need or want.
Ever your loving brother John 91 in margin: In that money affair you of course understand I would only be your banker
