4 Col. Sellers wrote a most cordial invitation for us all to visit them in Chicago urging us to stay at least two weeks
with them, so you must be sure to go. They inclose also a letter to Mr. Mrs. Keith which I sent to you. They were in Europe
since Christmas and had just returned. I shall write to Mrs. Sellers tomorrow. Francie is ready to go with the letters, so
no more Love to Grandma Muir and the others. Faithfully Yours, Louie Muir in margin: 872 1 Martinez California
May 19, 1893. My beloved husband: O John, how glad we were when the telephone rang out word of your safe arrival in Portland,
Tuesday midnight the wind blew so wildly here that I dreaded to think what might be out on the stormy sea and the foaming
breakers in the dark. I hope my message reached you in Portland, but it was late before yours came to Martinez this morning.
