Transcription:
San Jose Post Office. OFFICE OF THE POSTMASTER. SANTA CLARA CO., CAL., December 12. 1901 My Dear Muir: Thanks for
the book but more for the kind words for Auld lang syne. The book I could have bought, but no fellow could have bought the
words. I have Just tasted its flavor and it is fine. We shall all enjoy it hugely. By the way, d'ye mind the splendid boy
at 1844 St. Charles street, Alameda? He is as fine a fellow as you would see in a years search. And you have never seen him
He Rejoices in the name of Allen Muir, Allen coming first only for alliteration . Some day we ought to meet there and by way
of Christening him,give him a good spanking. We are all reasonably well, and reasonably happy as well. Jessie is with us
and is useful to all. Dora, who now lives at Fresno, has a fine girl and all are doing well. I am amusing myself, as a side
study, with mushrooms. I find it a pleasant way to put in the time. Kind remembrances to all. Yours as of old. Chas H.
Allen. 02825
