Pacific Grove, Calif. Aug. 3, 1910 Dear Dode, You haven't this one I believe so I send it to you, thinking you might like it. Have you the lighthouse? I really cannot remember what you have. Tell Mother I am so sorry she didn't decide to come. When do you begin work? Next week? Will see you Monday evening about six I think, unless the train leaves here earlier or later than we think. Much love to all. Margaret. Please send the list of my S.S. girls immediately. I don't want to miss writing to any of them.
