Martinez, Sep 21, 1910.Dear Sister JoannaHere is the check I mentioned in my last letterWe all deplore Dan\u27s hard afflictions- but only time and Heaven\u27s grace will avail to assuage his grief I\u27m so glad you can be with him in these dark days- and that your dear girls are gaining health with change of airI\u27m pegging away at new books. My fourth is in the hands of my publishers to appear in the spring. I\u27m going to Los Angeles in a few days but all letters will be forwarded.Ever affectionately your brotherJohn Mui
