1822 O'Tarrell Street San Francisco Jan. 13, 1900. Mr. Muir., Dear Sir Kind Friend: I received to-day, (forwarded
by Mrs. Swett,) the Ten dollars you have so kindly given me for a Christmas present. This, so generous of you, and so timely,
for my means are limited, and such a present, spent carefully, a little at a time, enables me to buy things which I really
need, but, which, if the means were lacking, I should be compelled to do without. Accept my grateful thoughts for your kindness,
May God reward you a hundredfold, is my prayer 02653
