First draft of lot tor, in note-book Martinez, Jan. 27th, '05. Mr. Francis George, Crockett P.O., California Dear Sir:
If Mr. Hanlen is trespassing on the streets I don't see that we can do anything about it. The town authorities ought to see
to that. As to the Strentsel Hall, Mrs. Muir is getting tired of ? it and has concluded to offer it for sale. If you find
anyone desiring to purchase it, please let us know. Anyhow we don't feel like fitting it up at present. with best wishes,
Faithfully yours, John Muir
