Transcription:
as to Mrs. Carrs treatment in last days Martinez Dec. 18, 1901 Dea Mr Lukens I was shocked by the news in your last
letter as to the treatment of poor Mrs Carr by her Keeper - I thought of going at once to see her legal guardian, but since
I knew no one in Templeton I felt I could not be useful in finding a proper Keeper. Surely the guardian can have no difficulty
in doing this duty. I hope the news is not true or at least will prove greatly exaggerated. Anyhow she must be faithfully
cared for supplied with every comfort she requires. Let me know as soon as possible the facts of the case what is needed that
I can supply, greatly oblige Your friend John Muir
