Transcription:
letterhead Martinez, Cal., Tuesday Dec 3 1909 Darling Helen: Write quick tell me whether you feel any ill effect from
your hurried walk yesterday. You must have enjoyed seeing me in full flight like John Gilpin. The train made up all lost time,
so I arrived this morning in a cold pouring rain at 5.55, so completely pitch dark that I had to grope for the station from
their felt my way with my feet as I used to do on the mountains When I got home I soon had a grand fire am not the least the
worse. The rain froze on the trees fences as it fell the hills look wonderful so does the mud ice. Glad you are not here
Lovingly your father
