Martinez California July 15 1896. My Dear Papa, We have not heard from you for several days. We hope that you recieved
the letters we sent to Helena. Wanda and I are very well but Mama's eyes hurt her a great deal. Grandma is a little better.
Mrs. Theobalds is staying with her this week. Marguerite went home to Sonora last Sunday, she was not very well but she cooked
a fine dinner with ice cream for us before she left. She said she must rest a while now. Ah Yin? is washing today. This morning
was foggy when I first got up but it is bright and 09242
