No description of Heaven that I have ever heard or read seems half so fine. At noon the clouds occupied about .05 of the sky, white, filmy touches drawn delicately on the azure. The high ridges and hilltops beyond the woolly locusts are now gay with monardella, clarkia, coreopsis, and tall tufted grasses, some of them tall enough to wave like pines. The lupines, of which there are many …

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Los Angeles. Cal., October 6, 1910.Darling Helen:-I arrived here Monday morning, and found your letter of September 26th.Don't give yourself the slightest trouble about Tom's bank fight. It did not amount to anything. He was simply provoked to think that the Bank had loaned Mr. Treat sixteen thousand dollars to redeem a ranch near Concord that Tom and his mother had bought at a foreclosure sale. He was very anxious to keep the ranch, thinking he would make a lot of money out of it, and of course hoped Treat would not be able to redeem it. But now, by …

Los Angeles, Cal., June 1, 1910.325 West Adams Street.My dear Mr. Browne:-Good luck and congratulations on the Dial's thirtieth anniversary, and so Scottishly and well I learned to know you two summers ago, with blessed John Burroughs & Co., that I seem to have known you always.I was surprised to get a long letter from Miss Barus written at Seattle, and in writing to Mr. Burroughs later I proposed to him that he follow to this side of the continent and build a new Slab-sides "where rolls the Oregon," and write more bird and bee books instead of his new-fangled …

Los Angeles, Cal., June 1, 1910325 West Adams Street,My dear Mr. Osborn:-Many thanks for the copy you sent me of your long good manly letter to Mr. Robert J. Collier on the Hetch-Hetchy Yosemite Park. As, I suppose, you have seen by the newspapers, San Francisco will have until May 1, 1911, to show cause why Hetch-Hetchy valley should not be eliminated from the permit which the government has given the city to develop a water supply in Yosemite Park. Meantime the municipality is to have detailed surveys made of the Lake Eleanor water-shed, of the Hetch-Hetchy, and other available …

It is that Pelican Bay Auto- stuff. Don't know how much longer it will take to finish it, and the trouble is it will have to be gone all over again before finally getting it into shape.

Los Angeles, Cal., April 13, 1910.Darling Helen:-The reason you have not heard from me so often these days is that I have been very very busy. I think I told you about being with Professor and Mrs. Osborn, and with the Carnegies. Since then I have got another little book put into type-writing, ready for the publishers with the exception of illustrations, which I have not yet decided on. It will be called, I suppose, "My First Summer in the Sierra, and is made up of the journal of 1869, in those blue-covered note books you have often seen.Tomorrow I …

copy6 April,1910,br>My dear Mr. Collier:I have recently been staying California with John Muir and got into the Yosemite although I was unable to enter the Hetch Hetchy. I regret to [say?] that your attacks on Secretary Ballinger [include?] his attitude in the Hetch Hetchy matter, which I believe to be entirely correct and patriotic. I am convinced by Mr. Muir and by the recent report of my friend Director George Otis Smith of the U. S, Geological Survey that the appropriation of the Hetch Hetchy valley for reservoir purposes by the city of San Francisco is totally unnecessary and …
