You seem to miss the mosquitoes had you been here a few days ago you would have seen and felt all the little blesseds you cared to We are all well here. Helen is very well, lively and growing. Aunt Margaret received your letter yesterday, she is about as well as usual again, she says your kind beautiful litters about Grandma Muir have comforted her greatly.Miss Graydon came up to see Aunt Etta and of course came over here a while, she could not stay long but we enjoyed her visit very much. she is looking very well and will spend the rest of her vactaion in Oakland.The peaches are beginning to get ripe and we will have all we can eat in a day or two.The road up the valley is being sprinkled now and this morning Mr. Coleman had the road across the vineyard sprinkled.We are very careful about fire and I thnk you need not worry about your notes. we do not cook a hot supper late in the evening so do not have any fire after four or five a clock and very little even then.Marguerite has gone back to Sonora, she was not very well and throught she would rather not work for awhile.Grandma has not been very well for a few days but is feeling much better this morning Where shall we send our next letters to? Mama and Helen will write to you tomorrow.LovinglyWanda Muir.
