letter from her yesterday telling of her safe arrival in Berkeley. She also wrote to Mr Van Dyke thanking him for his kindness to her.
I got my money order cashed yesterday and will settle up with Mr Van Dyke today.

May says Hal Coleman's boy has been very sick. Im so sorry. When you see Hal remember me to them all, & tell Dorothy I wont forget her.
Mr Van Dyke was in town yesterday afternoon and said to tell you that he had made inquiries and found there was no Grippe or colds in Daggett now and hadnt been for some time, and for you not to worry about that.

It looks now as if it was going to clear. It is not very cold, and besides my shanty is cozy and comfortable.
Take care of yourself so you can come back to me soon. Give my love to Wanda when you see her.
Always lovingly yours
