San Francisco. May, 16th/68.

My Dear Father,

I received your let-
ter dated May 4th and was very glad
indeed to hear from you, and to hear
that you had such a pleasant time
on the opening of the school. We
or at least the Brannan Guards gave
a Target Excursion at Alemeda [Alameda]
and Mother and all of us went
and had a very pleasant time on
the 1st of May.

Every thing
passed off orderly and quietly and
I dont [don't] remember hearing a cross
word from any one [anyone] that day.
All the members of your class were
glad to hear from you and send
love to you. Thomas Watson,
James P. Smith, Joseph Sayles, Mr.
