Martinez, California August 11, 1896 My Dear Papa, I wonder where you are now and if you are looking at a beautiful
Iceberg are you sailing out among those pretty green islands that you told so much about. I thought a good deal yesterday
about the cool blue ice for it was awful hot here all day but this morning there were great fog banks over Benicia and a fine
wind is blowing. Mama is pretty well again so she walks with me all around the orchard and I climb the peach trees for peaches
we cant reach from the ground they are just delicious now. I as? I have cut two new teeth since you went away but they did
not hurt me much so I feel very well again. 09241
