Am deeply grieved to hear the calamity that has befallen my Native State, How can I best serve her now. I beg you to command my entire services. Could I render better service by remaining New York to take part in obtaining financial assistance or by returning California. If you can give me authority I will solicit subscriptions from Californians now resident New York, London, South Africa. Reply seventy one Broadway New York. Arriving there tomorrow.

Gratefully accept your generous offer. Believe you can do good work in New York in way indicated. Situation in San Francisco bad as could be.
