Dear Mrs. Stewart,- I am in receipt of your very kind letter of the 10th instant in reply to the letter which I sent you with the booklets, which I am pleased to learn you found very interesting. I note that when you visit Los Angeles you will avail yourself of my invitation to visit the Memorial Home. If you will kindly call on my brother, Mr. J. Ross Clark, Pacific Electric Building, I am sure it will give him great pleasure to go with you, or if unable to go himself he will send Mr. Miller or someone else with you who is thoroughly familiar with the Home. |y wife and daughter have been at the Virginia Hotel, Long Beach, California, since my departure, until yesterday when they left for the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and I have a message stating they have arrived there and will remain for a few days in that picturesque and interesting locality. Together she and I visited the Canyon a number of years ago. I note your reference to the old home ranch, which you state is going to decay. I will endeavor to visit it at the first opportunity and look it over. I thank you very much for the date of the deed which was given me for the purchase of the Las Vegas property in 1902. I had at that time in view the great under­taking of building a railroad from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles
