Dear Friend Mr. Muir.
It gives me much pleasure to write you a friendly letter describing to you the day of March 17, 1904. which was held as Arbor Day, in Los Angeles. We also had flag-raising exercises, as we hoisted our first flag. The flag was presented to Mr. Monroe the representative of our ward on the Board of Education. We had a delightful program in which several of your nature quotations were recited
Our new school-house is
10031
[2]
situated on a hill near the corner of 24th Street and Western Avenue and is surrounded by beautiful residences; we have a nice view of the mountains.
Our school consists of four sunny rooms also four small ones, and a large hall
On Arbor Day we planted a redwood tree, and dedicated it to you.
If you should come to Los Angeles we would be glad to have come to our school and visit us
Sincerely Yours.
