My dear Mrs. Field: above Mrs. is L.W in pencil, and to the right of the colon is Orange, Calif.

  It was most kind of you to write me and I [hasten to reply] to say that fortunately I am not sick, and to thank you for your inquiry.
  We failed to get off in time to reach the Canyon for the dedication of the Pack, [ainsy] to some delay in a business transaction of considerable importance [even] so we have postponed going for the present.
  I thought up to the last moment that I could go but it turned out otherwise. I was very sorry. However we will come along [After aicjlow] and will take such pleasure in calling on you when we do get there.
  Hoping you are very well yourself, and with kind regards,
  Sincerely yours
  F. S. Dellenbaugh
