To John Muir,

My dear friend,

I have received two very sympathetic and encouraging letters from you as well as the M. S. I did not intend that you should take the trouble to return the M. S. as it is only a copy of what I have.

I have only looked at the pictures for the present, anticipating much pleasure and interest in perusing the book I was under an intense nervous strain all day and as twilight deepened into darkness I sat alone watching the snow flakes falling and thinking "what is life", what am I, that I should be ground to powder and almost crushed out of corporeal existence and no one to understand what one, suffers; …
