Mrs. Jane L. Stanford

Dear Sister:

Inclosed herewith you will please find copies of
two letters (the originals I am holding until you return) from M. Camerino
of the firm of Salviati & Co., regarding Mosaics. This letter may still
find you at the Islands, and I thought you might wish to reply direct
to Mr. Camerino from the Islands. The weather here is very unpleasant
it being cloudy and cold and it rained a little during the night. The
Spring is very backward. Work at the University is going on quite
rapidly.

Hermina has been suffering for the last few days with a cold and
her face this morning on the right side was all swollen from a toothache.
Annie is going to take her to the Dentist this afternoon. She is also
going to take Jennie to the Dentist this afternoon.

Ah Wing called at the office yesterday morning and I told him to
go to the City house and remain there until you returned as these
were your instructions, should he arrive during your absence. It was
a whole week before he could make a landing and they had to wire to
Washington to get permission for him to come ashore. I told Wing that
if ever he went back to China he would have to remain there as it would
be impossible for him to get back in America again.

Annie and myself are enjoying good health and I hope on receipt of
this it will find you and party enjoying the same. With love, I remain

Your affectionate brother
