Dear sir,
I cannot, I’m sorry to say, throw any light whatever on the enclosed amusing fragments -farther than that they [it] seem[s] to have been written by my old [ ] friend Dr. Wm. [William] P. Gibbons [handwriting.
He was fond of merry nonsense & the hand writing seems to be his]
Yrs [Yours] truly
JM
And now you must get used to [seeing] her there & hold on to her as your guide as before. Poor [Janet] is not gaining strength her mother tells me but is still able yo know her friends & to love them. Wanda as you know is going to school in Berkeley & expect to enter the University soon She is a faithful study scholar, quiet, [womanly] not in the least odd or brilliant but strong-willed, earnest, & unstoppable as an avalanche.
She comes home every Friday evening or Saturday morning, returns Monday mornings by the new railway that crosses vineyards a few hundred yds [yards] south from the house. Muir station is a little beyond the east boundary of the [vineyard] on the Brown Hill. Helen takes great delight in watching the trains whirl by & in meeting Monday & seeing her off & what of education
