Home June 4, 1908 Darling Helen, so you are alone again Strange a little family of 3 should live a? part each in a corner
of a triangle. I'm glad you have enjoyed even a short visit with Wanda. As for old me, I'm with you always, for you can have
me whenever you like Just say Come, down to Daggett I fly on the wings of love Santa Fe. Anyhow I mean to see you as soon
as I get Stickeen of my hands. It seems a small job that should have been finished long ago, But many cares sickness spoiled
me for composition, only lately could I do any really good work, I feel fairly able at last am getting ahead. Am writing it
all over again enlarging it feel sure it will be a good useful little booklet that will please you, I hope it will be in the
hands of Houghton Mifflin by the end of the month. I'm keeping the house nice batchelor tho I be. I had Fong washing the
windows beating the rugs sweeping dusting in great style the other day. I hate the idea of ever parting with it, Perhaps you
may like to live here in summer. Time will tell. Your business now is to get well I'm so glad you are getting on so prosperous
ly? in that great work, so cheerily merryly. Ever all yours John Muir
