2 Helen, Lou, and my self, we are all delighted with her she has just come from the Normal school and has received a teachers
certificate so that she is looking for a school, but she will stay here and teach us until she gets one. Helen sa illegible
s that she just loves to study because she is so gentle with her. Well what do you think? We saw in Saturdays paper that Mr
Keith had returned to Chicago, it said Mr Keith sauntered into the California illegible minus John Muir, this is the way that
he walked over Scotland. I will enclose the notic of his return. I am learning to sing the Blue Bells of Scotland. I am glad
that you are going to take a good look at that Dormer window. I wish that I could see 3 It and may be I will some day.
I analyze a plant or two nearly evey morning and I enjoy it so much. I also learn som verses in the Bible and read some poetry
every day. Aunt Margaret feels the hot weather so much that they are going to take her down to Pacific Grove wher it will
be cooler for her, they think the change will do her good.Mama and Grandma are pretty well. .Before this letter reaches you
you will have received a sweet little letter from Helen, I think It is very well written for a little girl her age, every
word of it is her own. I hope that you will have a more pleasant voyage coming home 02813
