Letter to Alexander Badlam Jr., 30 August 1889

My dear friend: I am in receipt of your esteemed favor of the 27th, and am glad to hear from you and to receive the last number of the "Glacier". You do not mention your own health nor that of your family; but I presume that you are all well. I am much obliged to you for reminding us concerning the $800.00 for Sam. I have had it enclosed to Cleo, and sent to your care. I hope it will reach all right. We feel greatly obliged to you for the trouble you have been at and sorry that you have been under the necessity of having to remind us of it. Mrs. Woodruff regrets that she did not see you when you were here, and hopes that you did not feel offended at her not making her appearance. She was taking a bath at the time and hoped to see you again, when she would have ex- plained to you the reason why she did not receive you. When you come over the next time I hope to be able to give you a ride in a vehicle and with a team that will please you. Mrs. Woodruff and myself think you will be gratified to know that your suggestions on this point have been carried out. With kind regards to yourself and family, in which my friends with me join, I remain, as ever, Your old friend, W. Woodruff ^A Badlam Esq Montgomery St. San Francisco Cal^
