Martinez California Dec. 9. 1898 My dear cousin, Your letter came just as I got home from my long rambles through the
eastern forests I was delighted to hear from your get the Dunbar news. You must have had a good rest about Edinburgh a pleasant
change It is all so beautiful there. I would have enjoyed the grand roaring storm you mention among the Dunbar rocks if it
were not so far how often I would be there. Our lives are too short to see much as compared with the infinite riches God displays
in this big world Nevertheless we may well be thankful for what we are allowed to see enjoy. I'm glad to hear that Bonnie
