Transcription:
Hollywood, Cal.,June 12, 1912. 1525 Formosa Ave. Dear Kr. Calkins:- I have often thought of you since I returned and
I assure you that you ere far from any danger of being forgotten. As you say, I have had a grand saunter over two continents,and
have had wonderful success not only in finding whet I was looking for in particular, but a great deal that I was not looking
for and did not expect to see. I am now writing up some of my notes, but it is a long job to get them in anything like shape,
and a harder job than traveling, even in thoso hot countries like Brazil and Rhodesia, and the equatorial regions at the heacd
of the Nile. I em going to try and get to see you some time when I need a rest, but I cannot get away so easily as I used
to, since my good friends, Mr. Hooker end Colonel Sellers, have passed away. In the meantime, hoping that you all enjoy your
California home among the oranges, I em, with thanks for your kind letter and invitation, Cordially yours, illegible 09213
