Clara's letter to her brother Rolla, May 8, 1908: I have bought 5 acres of fruit land at Alamo, all in bearing trees, pears, Royal Ann cherries and Muir peaches. Hope it will bring in an income. It is part of the Reis orchard which is being sold off in 5 & 10-acre tracts. I am within a stone's throw of the station and about as far again from Laura's house. Dozens of Oakland and SF people are investing in summer homes instead of camping, & all people w/money are building nice bungalows. I shall build a little 4-room bungalow w/bath, pantry, front & back piazzas. I have a contractor figuring on it now. I had the well bored and will put up a windmill. The bungalow should be finished by the time you get here around Christmas.
