The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco
I fell in love with the most cordial and sociable city in the Union.
I have done more for San Francisco than any of its old residents. Since I left there it has increased in population fully 300,000. I could have done more - I could have gone earlier - it was suggested.
I have always been rather better treated in San Francisco than I actually deserved.
Twenty-four years ago I was strangely handsome; in San Francisco in the rainy season I was often mistaken for fair weather.
