his Helens sickness, asks me where to go, I tell him Van Dykes Martinez, Dec. 12, 1907 Dear Mr Lukens. I think I told
you that Helen had another attack of pneumonia about two months ago. She is slowly recovering is able to go around the hose
but the rains fogs of the last few days have made the weak lung sore, the doctors say as I do that she must go again to the
desert stay for two years, at some ranch where milk, eggs, vegetables etc can be had. Do you know of any such place; say about
Barstow or Mohave or indeed anywhere. Perhaps Mr Gant in his extensive travels may have found such a place available for a
merry though sick boarder her anxious old father. How are you all, well I hope. Have you seen the Sillers lately? Sick
or well I am faithfully yours John Muir illegible , Dec. 14 - recommended Mr Van Dykes at Dagget
