Martinez, CaliforniaJuly 7, 1907.My dear cousin MargaretI was glad to get good tidings of your health & Maggie's from your letter of June 18th & Miss Hoffman's of the 20th. I thought it would be pleasant for you to hear direct from California through a friend of the family & so it has proved. & Miss Hoffman says she was charmed with her visit & was sorry it had to be made so short.Wanda has a son two weeks old, a perfect wonder of course in every baby way. Helen is still gaining in strength & is a good housekeeper.
