curator of the museum Mr.
Schlopbach - was the other gentleman.
We played six handed euchre and
there went into arnother another
room - the guest chamber of
Encina - where a table was
set for six & we made rare bit
& had patter, stuffed olives, fruit,
& candy till the lights went
out. It was truly unique & very
enjoyable, especially as Mr.
Schlopbach has not been in
this country very long and
has a strange & wonderful
uncommand of the language
which was very funny. He is
the best curator the museum
has ever had, and knows everything.
He came home with us and

told about his travels in a very
interesting way. Mr. Nash is a fierce
looking little man who when he
is unbent proved very lively &
interesting & above all a most
jovial host. He of course has been
everywhere with the Stanfords &
was young Leland's tutor.

I caught a glimpse of Mrs.
Myrick a day or two ago with
a whole bevy of society girls -
She was in her most tickled element
especially as she had dear
Prof. Allardice in tow too. She
looked very pretty indeed & was very
sweet - and airy. I went
through some of the chemical laboratories with them & it was
great fun to see Prof. Young
