My Dear Mr Muir
I am sure you how much I regret to know that Helen has had a set back. I had not know it before, and my wife and sister joins me in the hope that she may spedily recover.
I beleive I know just the place for you to take her. My friend and one of your great admirers, Theodore S. Van Dyke has a Ranch home on the Mojava Desert at Dagget just East of Barsts, he has beautiful Alfalfa fields, lots of milk, eggs &c and I beleive would take you in in some way. Mr Van Dyke is an artist, and a writer, only this, he is a great hunter, and beleives in it, but he is not a pot hunter.

I will write him by this mail and say you will write him
