In full: My Dear Herbert-Gilderist: You kind note finds me just opening my grape campaign, which promises to be a trying one. The Country is flooded with peaches, & grapes have to take a back seat.

The long draught [sic] injured my crop to some extent, but not as seriously as I at one time feared. I think I can come to you the latter part of Sept. I should be glad to go to West Hills with you. I had hoped to have you here this summer if you could come, but my domestic matter have all gone wrong & I see no hopes of their [illegible].
