BUELASSISTANT EDITOR.My dear Muir:-Your Interesting letter of the 13th of January went to my heart.I am very sorry to hear of your children's illness, and unite with you in gratitude for their recovery. They are at [illegible] perilous age of little folks. Mine, at twelve and fourteen, seem to have struck a long period of good health, and are growing up like weeds.I am glad to see that Californians seem at last to be aroused, if not organized, in favor of recession.

I have written [illegible] tO the Chairman of the01424
