Martinez, California Sep. 24, 1904. My dear Sellers: You say you thought I had gone to Australia I began to think you
had all gone as far. For your letter of the 11th inst. is the fist I have received from you since I got home from my big ramble.
Now that the fine avenue house is sold you must all come to California as soon as you can, build your next home here be my
neighbor. Then we can grow old or young handsomely together. The High Sierra will be our glorious back yard, the Pacific our
pond where we can sail when we like-, to Alaska
