Will you please accept
& express to the ladies
of the San Francisco
Committee my thanks

in your charming city.

I cannot fully

express for you all, my
appreciation of the
kindness & attention,
which you have
bestowed on us. I
can only say that it
needed no gift to
remind us of your
generous welcome
& courtesy for my

will be ever fresh
