1 Alhambra, March 21, 1875. Dear Mrs. Carr, Your letter was duly received, but I waited for further ac- counts of the
situation (political), and then expected that mother and I could go to Oakland last week, and so see you there; but as we
failed in that, I hope it is still not too late to say I am glad that you declined the nom- ination for School Director. I
feel more and more sure that it is best for you to avoid, at least for the present, all underlined: possible political com-
plications; and so remain untrammeled, 06387
