John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

[Page 7]

St. Vincent, Jan. 22, 1877.

Dear Mr. Muir,

It has been such a long time since I received your good and kind letter that I am now almost ashamed to write an answer to it. And yet, although I have not answered it before this, the reason is not because I never thought about you.

[Original letter in possession of Sarah Muir Galloway]1419 Taylor St., S.F.,[Home of John Swett],Jan. 12th, [1877].Dear Sister Sarah:I received your welcome letter to-day. I was beginning to think you were neglecting me. The sad news of dear old Mrs. Galloway, though not unexpected, makes me feel that I have lost a friend. Few lives are so beautiful and complete as hers, and few could have had the glorious satisfaction, in dying, to know that so few words spoken were other than kind, and so few deeds that did anything more than augment the happiness of others. How many really good …

Your letter was duly received, but I waited for further ac- counts of the situation (political), and then expected that mother and I could go to Oakland last week, and so see you there; but as we failed in that, I hope it is still not too late to say I am glad that you declined the nom- ination for School Director.

She never recovered from her surprise at finding the Marquis de Bridal so changed; and life in one of these old castles was a very tiresome affair, she said to Louison; adding, by way of comfort: " Don't fret, Louison; we will return to Paris at once.
