Transcript	-26th- Court today. Hearing Mozollon Ex. Co. v. Richards Howard for plft. & Sullivan for defendant. My neck is hurting me badly & nearly disabling me from work. I am wearing porous plaster & will try hot water bottle tonight. Grand jury trying to indict Comr. Whipple while McGinn is absent. This is most wonderful climate I know of - it does not get warmer than 10° above - a range of only 55°! There are patches of snow all summer lying not a thousand feet above sea level. The Indians in the case of the Indian murderer are about to fail as witnesses for fear that if he is found guilty he will be hung. They would be willing to tell the truth if he was only to go to the penitentiary but if he is to hang they will be dumb. The Marshal has engaged Miss Mary Wagner, a thorough Aleut scholar to act as interpreter in the case - no one else competent.
