01421 Martinez April 29th 1890 Dear Brother Dave, How have you come through the winter - Hae you your family escaped
the influenza, I have not heard a word from you all the winter. Most of us have been affected more or less but we are now
well the weather begins to be worthy of California once more. What do you hear of John Reid. I asked him to come out here
but of course he finds it hard to leave the land begin a new business at his time of life. I had a letter from Maggie a day
or two ago. She is of course greatly discouraged, is also pinched for want of money at times. Write to her often enclose a
few dollars now then. This will go far to cheer her up. Do you hear from Dan. He never write to me I can get none of the money
he owes. With love to all J.M.
