My dear Sir
Your letter of November 9th was duly handed to me at Stana Rosa on my visit there Saturday. I regret that I forgot to send you the portrait for you hall. I t has been my intention for a long time. I will have it attended to at once and as soon as the portrait can be made ready I will send it to you. I suppose you want it at Oakland. I herewith return your enclosure.

My Dear Jennie
I have thought of you a great deal today and I have wondered how you were feeling and whether you were lonesome. I have missed you very much and have feared you find your surroundings tiresome I shall visit you as soon as I can. Unless something unforseen occurs to prevent I will leave San Francisco to join you Tuesday evening. It is a warm day here Mr Nash and I went to church today and had a very sensible Sermon. The substance was the necessity of union of church members to sustain their church organization. It was a Sermon
