May 2nd 1894
Dear Mr. Muir,
It is a good many months since your letter came telling of your summering of last year, and I have all this time been waiting until I might sit down quietly and [talk?] to you by way of answer. Such a time seems not to come, but I am nevertheless, going to send you a note from the School house, while every class is [digging?] away at a Latin examination.
Next Tuesday eve. my Uncle Col. Merrill, is to be here and to talk to the Longfellow Club at Berkeley, expose some

[2]
observations during his three years in India. Can't you come down that evening? I want so much to have him see you, as well as you him. He will be with us only [over?] night.
I have been all the winter at Berkeley where, under shadow of the University I might carry on my Greek studies. Much has offered of advantage & pleasure. It has been a terribly full year, but one for which I am grateful.
All at home are in usual healths, and affairs generally in statu quo.
How are you all? I often wish I knew, from the children down to what once
[3]
were little dogs. Give every one my love, don't forget [illegible].
I have found a pleasant home in Mrs. Chas. Wilkinson's family, but May & June [illegible] am to change for the summer as the Wilkinsons migrate to their Ranch. I go to Mrs. Bettis, 2530 College Ave.
Now do come down Tuesday eve. Can't you bring Wanda and let her stay with me? Tell Mrs. Muir I will take the best care of the child.
I write hastily, but wish affection to all.
Your friend,
Katharine M. Graydon
