slips, something about San Francisco, I do not think I shall take your advice about going to see my mother, as I think know that when I get out of this I shall get to you and the babies as soon as possible. Give my warmest love to the babies, and believe one to be ever your loving husband [obedient husband crossed out] Geo. H. Pettis
