Dear Dr.
The enclosed letter will explain itself. Mrs Jackson is one of our most gifted women & authors but as 'crochety' as it is the privilege of genius to be. She broke her leg early in the fall, a '[commcrated?] compound fracture' and came for the third time to Los A. to winter.
She laid in a crowded boarding house with bad courage, and taking little bodily exercise - was even poisoned. She has fallen into the hands of a [vanity?] of homeopaths who make a good thing of it I fancy.
I thought our friend John would laugh one of his awful laughs at this "innocent abroad"

who expects to get to the "Dutchmans Flat" by train, and thence keep moving for three months when it is cool and mosit & not over 4000 ft high.
Maybe John will remember a [illegible] bakc of Nesaka which would meet her requirements. I have told her in my replay to her letter that I would ask you to call on her at 1600 Taylor St. S. [illegible] I have also told her how you travelled once with the dear mother and saved her all these blessed years.
I think she would be grateful for a word from you. and she is well worth saving.
And I love you all as I climb toward the hills when we shall have plenty of time to say what is in our hearts.
