Dear Mary June 27th [1913]

I don't know why in hell I haven't written before not for lack of thinking of you for I always do that, I have been away on a speech making tour once & had good audiences & have been trying to call but for the most part been busy losing that feeling like doing any thing worth while. Guess I am getting old, don't you think so? Have seen Mrs. Hamilton a number of times she is all right , have had a good time. Helen has flown in or rather fluttered in & out. I think she has gone East on her lady suffrage here - some where will be no harm in all the wide seas - Mrs. Wood was here a few minutes the other day and as a consequence I wrote a letter to your town hope things will come out all right I am very anxious to see Sarah get away from that little priest. I don't see how she has stood it so long. How is she & then are you and or you to be married soon. I hear nothing more from L. A. but I am going back to California in Oct Any how I am anxious to see all of you and to see San Francisco & I want to live there. Have
