letterhead Oct. 21 1885 Room 874 Dear Mr Muir. The Palton's are once again on the Pacific coast Do you wish to see them
enough to call at this great wilderness of a hotel to see them? At Chico we called on General and Mrs. Bidwell who said you
were married and living at Martinez on a ranch. I send this note at a venture, hoping for an answer soon, or to have a call
from yourself and Mrs Muir. We may remain here a few weeks before going to southern California. Your old friends and fellow
travelers, Ludlow and Abby H. Patton
