A. & U. Hospital Hot Springs Ark 3/10/13

Dear Mr Muir:

I recd your letter of Mar. 4th this a.m. Communicating with the office of the Mountain Vally Springs Co. Club I learned the letter you mentioned had been returned some two or three days ago. I found however your book "Stickeen" awaiting me for which accept my sincere thanks.
Being unable to write at that time my letter was dictated to a stenographer at said Club Bldg. She had no plain paper but used the paper advertising the Cos. Business hence the very natural mistake in addressing me there. …

Picture Rocks, Pa. Feb 25 1913

My dear John Muir

This little letter from an eleven year old school girl written on her own impulse explains itself. If you feel like putting your autograph on the enclosed sheet I am quite sure it would be an incentive for her to continue her interest in John Muir and his Sierras. She does not know I am actually taking the liberty to mail this to you so she will not be disappointed if the autograph does not appear but I know she will be overjoyed if it does

Very sincerely and respectfully …

Dear friend:

Your painful letter came to me in my lonely library writing den while hard at work on an Alaska book which should have been written a score of years ago.

Lessons Of The Wilderness., John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

LESSONS OF THE WILDERNESS' BY JOHN MUIR Excepting Sundays we boys had only two days of the year to ourselves, the 4th of July and the 1st of January. Sundays were less than half our own, on account of Bible lessons, Sunday-school lessons, and church services; all the others were labor-days, rain or shine, cold or warm. No wonder then that our two holidays were precious, and that it was not easy to decide what to do with them. They were usually spent on the highest rocky hill in the neighborhood, called the Observatory; in visiting our boy friends on …

We listen to orators at election time and they tell us that if we vote for Brown, Jones, or Robinson, he will get after those fellows who are keeping us all from growing prosperous and happy, and that as soon as he is elected the Golden Age will be at hand.

' New York City, August 20, 1912. Rkv. II. D. Lamb. Dear tiir, ΓÇö The editor of the Atlantic Monthly has been good enough to send me your letter to him for perusal, ΓÇö I being 'The Outsider.' It was my earnest endeavor to write the article in question without giving offense, but I fear I have failed in this, and even in the more important task of expressing clearly what I meant to say. My point was that Smith is frankly not a Christian; therefore that it is idle to say that he should go to church if he …

[1]Dear Mr MuirI wrote you a scrap of a note on my way to San Francisco and, Maude and Marian kept me so busy after I got into the Hooker home that I did not have a moment's time to write anyone. I expected to stay three days and remained two weeks so we had such a happy trio while Ellie and Mrs. Hooker were on business in Los Angeles. Ellie attended to details of the new school she has bought with Maude, a rival which they will thus put out of business by absorbing. I had three nice days …

[letterhead]Aug 14th 1912.My Dear Mr. Muir,Your interesting and welcome letter of June 25th came duly to hand. I was gratified to find that your journeyings throughout a portion of Southern and Eastern Africa had proven of such an interesting and instructive character, and that you arrived home in good health. I was sorry when we arrived at Cape Town (where we have had our home for over 30 years) that I was unable to devote some time to you in showing you a number of beauty spots in the Cape Peninsula which you were unlikely to see alone. As you …

I have always loved your story of the little dog companion of your dangerous Alaskan adventure, and the book containing it--a gift from its writer will ever be one of my most prized possessions. As I have said, I wish it were possible to show my appreciation in some other way than a new …

Martinez, April 31, 1912 Dear Miss Kellogg: Your kind holiday greeting has just come to hand on my return from South America and Africa. Had you gone with me the trip would have cost you nothing in money, but in hardships and dangers so much that I’m glad neither you or any other friend has shared them with me. Only a wild enthusiastic naturalist may be pardoned for asking friends to take such risks. Anyhow I went alone, and with usual good luck have returned in good health, like Tam O’ Shanter over a’ the ills of life victorious, and …

You being in South America at the time, knew nothing about it, and most probably have not learned about it since. When I was last with you I was quite determined, health and strength being spared, to make another good leisurely visit to the Pacific. I had a short one to Seattle at the time of their Worlds Exposition, combining business with it, and seeing the neighboring towns. Last summer our …

'Well,' said the suggester of the original problem, 'it's a compromise, and therefore no fun. But you may play with it if you like. The sweeping- ness of the first question was of course its merit.
