April 1st, 1873.
Yours containing Dr. Stebbins’ was received to-day. Some of our letters
come in by Mariposa, some by Coulterville, and some by Oak Flat, causing
large delays.
I expect to be able to send this out next Sunday, and with it Hetch
Hetchy, which is about ready and from this time you will receive about
one article a month.
This letter of yours is a very delightful one. I shall look eagerly for
the rural homes.
When I know Dr. Stebbins’ summer address I will write to him. He is a
dear young soul, though an old man.
