4 about the first of March. We are all well and happy. I keep fat and comfortable and dont worry about anything. Just enjoy
this desert of mine, and my horse and dog, my guitar and my letter, so I am very happy. A few days ago I rode up on the slope
south of the ranch and made friends with a dear little burrowing owl. I got up to within ten feet of him and whistled and
he blinked and walked around bowing to me - so funny I could hardly keep from laughing. 04071 5 Im going up there some
sunny day with my camera to take his picture as he bows to me. I had a nice long letter from Dr. Merriam the other day, also
a funny book. I'm going to write and tell him how finely Im getting along. Please send back that Calkins letter to me - I
think I ought to answer it. Im very glad the ranch is all right, and everything looking cheerful. Take good care of yourself
and write soon. Always yours Helen 04071
