Wesley C. Sawyer

will give me time to learn whether I get a call from Palo Alto, as well as to look over the attractions of your wonderful state. My father-in-law is already on his way to San Jose, and I intend to join him there soon, and explore the part of your coast lying between San Francisco and San Diego.

Of course, I shall take the liberty to call on you when in San Francisco.

With thanks for your kindness, I remain very respectully

W. C. Sawyer
