In passing, I cannot too strongly emphasize 
the fact that Mr. Burbank’s grounds are abso- 
lutely private. Still stronger placards than the 
above now appear at the entrance gates, 
prohibiting all visitors without previous ar- 
rangement. This has been made imperative 
because of the steadily increasing stream of 
people who have been making a Mecca of his 
home.
