Wish you could come. The mountain is truly glorious. I must now to breakfast. Wanda & Helen are both in bed yet no doubt & so are you all I guess. Hope Annie is in good reasonable [moutery?] humor. I want to write to the children Will soon. The sunshine on the sound is dazzling this morning. The sail will be fine have done little or nothing in the wayu of work so far. Love to all.
