1 Martinez California August. 14. 1893. My dear Papa You will have returned from Norway before this. I suppose you
have had a delightful time and that you have seen many strange wonders while in Norway. I hope that we will soon hear from
you and hear about all these things Helen is very well and the weather has been a little cooler than it has been. Grandma
and Mama are pretty well. The pears and plums are ripe and we are shipping a good many of them but there is not much demand.
