01671 New York June 1, 1893. My own dear little Helen. I think the letter you sent me with the pretty flowers was
the best you ever wrote it made me glad when I read it saw the words the flowers that your sweet little fingers had touched
written. Im glad you like the music box the Elfin? is well funny wiggly as ever New York is very big there are thousands thousands
of little girls here but none so sweet to me as my own darling Helen. Ill not stay away too long for Ill be in a hurry to
see you again but I kiss you lots of times everyday just the same as if I were with you Little Willie is here sends love to
you. When I come home Ill bring you Wanda something from Scotland. Tell Wanda Ill write her a letter tomorrow. Your loving
papa John Muir
