I should love to take a long walk with you & wear it off. There is noth- ing like it for improving one's temper_ Query?After much discussion01258[3]of what is best, Mary and I have at last decided to go south, to Los Angeles she to stay in [illegible]- neigh- borhood, probably, & I to be with her for three or four months _ to try the country and climate.I want Mamma to come out in May, but I cannot tell whether she will think it best.If the roads are good, & the telephone in order, May I come up Saturday
