1 letterhead Mch 25. 1903 My dear friend Muir- Wife I were preparing to start on our journey up the coast, when word
came the other day that I must come home at once. A land suit involving title to property of great value in which I am a very
important witness is set for hearing Arl 3. The rightful owner is a personal friend of mine and my testimony will save him
the property, so I must go home at once. We leave day after tomorrow, and we both regret exceedingly that we cannot see our
dear friends at Martinez Berkeley before going home, but it cant be helped this time. 03194 2 letterhead We cecd your
letter of the 25th illegible in which you said If you can't come here, I'll be down there as soon as I can get a confounded
article off my hands . I did not write you to come because I thought it would be hard for you to get away and we had our
tickets home by way of San Francisco. I exchanged these tickets for tickets via the Santa Fe as I fortunately could get a
drawing room on that road on the 27th it would be hard to get like accomidations up the coast as so many have gone are daily
going that way home. It was our intention to spend a week or ten days at Santa Barbara, a few days at the Del Monte in Monteray
about 2 weeks in San Francisco, but you know what Bobby Burns said about the plans of mice men- wife joins me in sincere regards
to you all yours t illegible A. H. Sellers 03194
