Martinez, May 14, 1909 Dear Sister Mary: I was glad to get tidings of you, in the midst of overwork bother trouble Helen
was five weeks in hospital lately with typhoid She is now on the Mohave desert near Daggett, is rapidly convalessing. We
are all well here as far as I know. Wanda has two boys Johnnie Reid's wife has twins - a boy girl. Maggie is better than usual
- so are Sarah David I'm living alone in the big house on the hill - pretty lonely but too busy to sulk or growl. Ever affectionately
our brother John Muir
