I tried two weeks ago to 'phone to your daughter but was told the 'phone had been removed.
I am with kindest thoughts
Cordially
(Mrs J. L.) Augusta Atkinson,

La Manda Park, Cal.
May 15th 1913.
My Dear Mr Muir:
Today I atended the funeral of our friend Francis F. Brown.
I suppose you have all particulars.
I did something of which I will have to tell you, and hope you will forgive me if it seemed other than you would wish,
05448
[2]
knowing how much Mr. Brown thought of you, and knowing you were not here, I took the liberty of sending in your name, a bunch of beautiful M. Niel Roses.
I said nothing to any one, simply sent the roses with a card on which wrote the words__"Devotedly
[3]
John Muir-"
Forgive me if you consider this an offense. I only write to explain to you, so if the family should acknowlege the same, you would understand. I hope you are well, and happy. When you come south I should love to see you.
