I will take the note-books with me, unless I hear to from you that you do not need them just now. I almost dared to hope that
you would come for them, and the twelve days seem long, longer than I thought. If you can not come, I will be in San Francisco
tomorrow, Saturday afternoon. Come to see me at 3 o clock at Capt. Bielawskis, No. 1615 Clay Street between Polk and Larkin,
The Larkin cars transfer to Lutter F? Polk I shall be there also after 7 o clock in the evening and all of Sunday afternoon.
If you have made any engagement to go away from the city at that time, send me a note to the same address. Ever Yours,
Louie Strentzel In awful haste
