walls and pictures (Johns more especially) the same afternoon. A number of the slips &c are in pots and under glass- We shared with Davids’ folks. O. M. G. was in town this afternoon. Said he had rec’d a letter from you which changed his mind materially. Said he should write S. to stay until spring – Anna has resigned her school, so that all will go smoothly at home now. Hope they will stay and rest, and get all the benefit, Californian climate can [afford?] them. You and Joanna write of such ge[illegible] ch[illegible], that our severe winter weather seems harder to bear than ever – Goodbye
Lovingly Your Sister Annie L. Muir
