Transcription:
first draft of letter, in note-book 59 (47) Jan.,1902 Mr. Olaf F. Ellison, 5 l/2 Kearny St., San Francisco. My dear
Sir: I an sorry that I was away at the Grand Can you when Miss Gertrude P. Boyle, introduced by your kind note of Jan. 15th,
called at our house, and I am sorry that I missed seeing her. I had already heard of her and her work through Mrs. Swett,
our neighbor, an admirer and friend of hers, and should have been glad to meet her. The sitting for a bust seems likely to
prove a serious interruption to the work now on my hands. I am looking forward to the spring, when I hope to find a little
leisure, and will then be able to see her. With best wishes, I am, Very truly yours, J. M.02890
