And now dear Miss Berner, I expect you have
sent the registered letter I sent yesterday to Mrs Stanford
I have trusted to her with the greatest confidence
the project of my future plans - future which means
only a few months distance - as anxious as I am
to start again by myself I am glad to be home
for a few months longer in order to complete
Mrs Stanford's order as I could not answer if
I were away. I know that Mrs Stanford's wish
is me to personally attend to the progress of the order
& this will be done. I have explained that for a ma-
terial want of time, any new order would not be
addressed by me and that in case she wants kindly
comfirm the orders of which I am preparing design.
My will be done in my own establishment { ?}
{ ?} and fixed in Palo Alto during 1903

I certainly prefer & will leave for San Francisco
as soon as I am free & I wish you would kindly
tell me if Mrs Stanford thinks to come back to
Europe during this year.

I have thought of 2 beautiful designs for the 2 blank
spaces in nave whose measures & shapes you sent
Prof Poroletti is performing my idea on paper
allow me not to tell the subjects as I wish to make
a surprise to Mrs Stanford.

About my future plans I have consulted my lawyer
& he told me that I am quite in [libled ?} & it is my duty
to prepare myself as it is a question of 4 or 8 months of
to be free
