Add to ORKGHome, Jan. 12, 1914Darling Helen. How are you now? I always think of you, especially in black foggy rainy lung-choking weather, This day is one of the darkest of the melancholy winter, How the rain pours & the Alhambra Creek roars after being silent for 3 years I\u27m so glad these storms don\u27t reach your desert.Ive been grippe-choked several weeks but am getting better by keeping close to my den fire.
