It is such a holiday trip all through not grim and human like the Boer war.

Just quaint and queer.

A trip of cherry blossoms and Geisha girls.

I send all my love to you.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 26th.
DEAR MOTHER: We got in here last night at midnight just as easily as though we were coming into Jersey City.

Before we knew it we had seen the Golden Gate, and were snug in this hotel.
