My dear Mr Lukens,
I got home a few days ago from a long visit with my friend Harriman at Pelican Bay in the Klamath country. & have had a fine reviving time & also have got some writing done up there.
I also spent a month with the Sierra Club in the Kern Canon country, & made a short excursion to Yosemite I also rewrote Stickeen & enlarged it somewhat. The Houghton Mifflin Company is going to bring it out as a little book early next spring
Helen is getting on bravely toward sound health with the Van Dykes on the desert, the place you found for her & for this kindness & many others we are ever devoutly yours.
Let me hear how you are Give my love to your wife & sister & believe my faithfully
your friend
