I have the Yosemite book, and Miss Christiansen has the Mandarin coat.
I thank you very much. The pictures are beautiful, but of them all I
prefer that of Nanny bending over the stove. True, the face is not
visible, but it looks like you all over.
I'm filling out the book with views of the Grand Canyon, so as to have
my scenic treasures all together. Also I'm trying to get for you a
certain book of Canyon pictures, which I neglected to obtain when
there. You will like it--if I get it.
Sometime when you have nothing better to do--don't be in a hurry about
it--will you go out to Mountain View cemetery with your camera and
take a picture of the grave of Elizabeth (Lily) Walsh, the little deaf
mute that I told you of? I think the man in the office will locate it
for you. It is in the Catholic part of the cemetery--St. Mary's. The
name Lily Walsh is on the beveled top of the headstone which is shaped
like this:

You remember I was going to take you there, but never found the time.
Miss Christiansen says she is writing, or has written you. I think the
coat very pretty.
Affectionately,
AMBROSE.
