Happy Easter!
It is a grand Easter Day here. We decided to wait until next Sunday to attend church, and just enjoy the peace of home this day.
No letters cam from either of our mothers this week. Thinking each day that a letter would come, I have waited this long to write. I hope, mother, that your trip was not to harrowing.
Yesterday we drove to Muir Woods, just a few miles from San Fran across the Golden Gate bridge. The Woods is an area of about a mile square, with tall redwood trees, a stream running through—a most serene, impressive little forest. Wouldn’t it be fine to have a few acres of Uncle Mac’s forest as your own a few miles from the city—so that you could relax for a few hours of the week.
After this would you address your letters to the ship. We may sail shortly after the 1st of the month. The “place to live” situation in and around Astoria is as difficult as any other location, but we are doing all we can via mail to have a place waiting for us.
All is going wonderfully well. Our stay here has been superb, and I know it will be equally so in the great northwest!
