5th March 1895

Dear friend Muir,

I duly received your two letters, but business affairs have compelled me to put off replying to same from time to time until now.

Of course you visited this gay city when you were over here. Have been over some fifteen or twenty times, but a day or so always satisfies one & am therefore glad to be on my way …

My dear Mr. Muir,

I am sure you think all I said about your printing a book was just "talk," seeing I was so long telling you how much I enjoyed it. I am the possessor of two of these books, having read one. I'll just say - one, I purchased, the other was a gift! I insist I enjoy your descriptions more than I would sight - the power to find the vivid word just thrills me, and some sentences I read entranced. I lent one of my …

My dear Wanda,

Your two letters, so nicely written, have both reached me, and I have not intended being so long in answering them, but the days down here in Oakland have a way of flying by before one can get in all he cares to do. I am very glad your grandmother got off, and I know how much you especially miss her, but the trip and the change will do her good. When do you expect her back? You ask about my school.
