                         "Avalon, Catalina Is., California
                         "Sept 2rd 1895
"My dear brother Hixon,
"I have had several letters and pictures from you since I have written for which I am very grateful. The maple sugar came to hand in due time, also the account of the Bryant Reunion.
"What a good time you all had on that occasion! & all the speeches were well worthy [of] the occasion. I wish there might be a fuller report that would include some of those so flatteringly mentioned in the paper. We enjoyed the maple sugar very much & concluded it to be the genuine article now so rare before we knew where it came from -- that fact however gave it an added zest.
"We are spending a month on Catalina Island about 25 miles from the mainland south west of Los Angeles -- it is twenty two miles long and at its greatest width 8 miles wide The little bay of Avalon is a favorite summer resort. There is a pebbly beach no breaker and clear water a perfect place for bathing and boating The bay is alive with little boats of all kinds yachts sail boats row boats and canoes. The island is mountainous. This I think is the largest canyon. There are only a few houses two or three big hotels and in the summertime a city of tents There are only I believe 300 inhabitants but thousands have been here this summer. The children have learned to swim and to use the oar. Today they are all off in their boat with other boats up the coast a few miles to "Arch beach" on a picnic. They expect to catch abalone and make a soup over a camp fire. Fishing too is a daily amusement & we are having our fill of fresh fish, cheifly[sic] mackarel though the yellowtail is quite plenty and sea bass affords us an occasional change. I am left all alone in our cottage and after the work is done up for the day I am at leisure All work except that of providing the meals and keeping the house in order we have left at home. Our little house commands a view of Ocean Boulevard (the principal street) and the bay & I spend a great deal of time on the front porch watching the life of the place with my field glass I can see the children in their boat when they are fishing But I shall be quite ready to go home next Saturday though it will be quite a forlorn homegoing for Newell has started on his usual trip east and will not be there. He left the 30th of Aug, and expected to be in Wyanet about the 10th of Sept. to make you a call. Please tell him I want him to be sure and call at Uncle John's while in Princeton. I hope this will find you all well and as prosperous as when you last wrote. This letter is for Bell too My best Love to you all
