Dear Friends
Your kind letter was received some days ago and found me much better than when I wrote. My trouble the Dr. pronounced pleurisy but I must be careful he said so as not to have pneumonia.
I am up now and have been out breathing the fine air this morning for a few moments.
I rented my home the 22nd of Oct. but have written the parties this week to see if they will vacate; if so I shall go down as soon as able.
I do not feel that the house is really fit for me to go into. They have used a gas heater

constantly and the walls of the two main rooms were very damp when I left & can but be worse now.
The air there was simply wretched and I can but hope the tenants will leave as soon as possible. Yet they were such neat appearing people.
I had reserved one room and had been sleeping there for a couple of weeks before leaving for Byron after coming from Palo Alto.
I shall not think of leaving here anyway before next week. And as I would have to ride several miles to reach you from the Southern Pacific line, probably it will be best to go direct to Oakland much as I hate to give up seeing you on this trip - Should the weather continue warm, I may feel so well by next week

that I will consider it safe to stop over. Weather at this time of the year cannot be counted on.
Good bye for now with the best of good wishes.
Sincerly Yours
