Dear Mr. Dreyfous,
Instead of these few lines being a pleasure to write it is with regret I have to inform you that Mama does not
approve of our intended sojourn to the Pass. The first and principal objection is the intense heat, secondly we
may leave for the North within a fortnight and our worthy assistance may be required in our absence.
Hoping the pleasure of spending a couple of days across the Lake will some day be indulged in; we will not lose
patience but live in hopes of spending a jolly time there in the near future.
I did not say anything to Mrs. Goldsmith about the trip with the wish to hear that your hopes were not blighted
Sunday.
With best regards
I remain yours truly— Julia Seeman

My dear Felix,
We are at last settled after a dirty trip, the scenery was not very interesting until we reached a hilly country.
While on the train I did not feel tired but when we came up here I needed rest badly as George nursed a great deal
on the car he would not touch his pap once from NO here as I was always there & he preferred his nurse.
The pleasure of seeing all of the folks is a great pleasure to me but it does not seem complete my dear without
you. I feel that I was not doing the right thing to go without you. I make George call Papa often so he does not
forget you.
Papa and Mamma were at the station anxiously awaiting as we were 40'late. They found George very fine and each
wanted to carry him so Mama took him for a little time then Papa carried him all the way from depot to Avondale.
Who would have thought Papa would do such a thing. Papa and Mama were at Hotel Alms and changed to this place as
it was very warm there. This is a large house and situated more country like which they thought better for our
dear baby. The weather has been very warm here but changed during the night and this a.m. is 70 degrees.
