we shall both be very glad
to see our travelers back again.
I hope that we may hear as
you have time, of you, and
of what you are doing for
California. Aimee has en-
joyed your friendship, and
that of Mr. Stanford, so much
and you have been so kind
to her, in so many ways!
I trust that you may want
to come East some time, -
and that we may have the
pleasure of seeing you in
our home. We are always
glad to hear from you.

I am sincerely your friend
