Darling Helen,
I'm so glad to know that you are really getting better in spite of the deadly ill fortune that seems to have dogged your path all the way through life.
Make a good fire place in the new house. with double thickness of brick to guard against fire in the high desert winds. And supply yourself with warm clothing both for bedding and day wear.
Ever devotedly your

My dear Mr. Muir:
We are preparing a small volume of geographical stories for use as a sup-plementary reader in schools, to be made up of sketches by various authors which have appeared in our magazines and books, and we would like to include three extracts from "The Mountains of California" - "A Winter Scene in the Yosemite," "The Mountains of California," and "The Forests." In order to adapt these for a children's reading book it has been necessary to simplify them to some extent. Would you like …

I think the best thing I can now do in defense of the Valley is to write a letter to Senator Hollis of Hew Hampshire, a young Democratic politician in whom I feel an interest and who has some respect for my opinion.
