I fear you will hardly believe me when I protest my solicitude about you and my sympathy with you in all these months of trial and suffering, and yet now for the first time write to you. It seems impossible even that I should never have heard a lisp that anything had gone wrong with you - other than Helen's weakness - until late in August, when I was in the thick of work at the opening of college, and you were all away in Arizona! Yet so it …

My dear Cousin,

We all thank you for your kind sympathy in our bereavement, which came so suddenly on us. Up to her last day my noble wife was not aware of the hopelessness of recovery, nor indeed were any of us though warned by the doctors a month before. She suffered but little pain; was cheerful, & at last simply fell asleep.
I am still very anxious about Helen. Twice after gaining almost perfect health she brought on inflamation of the left lung by careless over-exertion, riding 30 or 40 miles on horseback a day …

I am very much pleased to know that Helen is improving and hope, for your sake as well as her own, she will continue so and grow entirely well.
I wish I could prescribe for her with the same success as in your case. However, when she is again well and strong, I would recommend a trip on the Columbia, and I shall arrange matters with old ocean, and ours esteemed friends the huge leviathans, for a pleasant voyage.
Trusting this will find you in good health and confidence …

I have just received a letter from Mrs. Lunam telling me of the sad bereavement you have sustained in the death of your dear wife, and I just send this little note to say how much I sympathize with you in your loss. I experienced the same in 1889 when my first wife died so I know what it is. The last time I heard from Mrs. Lunam was some months ago when she told me you were on the point of starting for Arizona with your daughter Helen, who I …

June 6th my wife died, & my daughter Helen's health is still far from firm though it is two years since it was broken by pneumonia. We are here for the sake of the dry plateau air. When we may return to the desolate Martinez home I don't know, possibly we may be here all winter, but in any …

I thank you very much for your friendly sympathetic letters. Helen after growing strong here had a severe relapse but is now fast recovering lost ground, though of course I am still anxious & useless as far as literary work is concerned.
Reports about my health were all greatly exaggerated. I have not been sick at all-only tired out & stunned. As soon as Helen is well I hope to get to work, Wanda who also was tired out, is here the strongest of us all.

Ever faithfull & gratefully …

Shall you go right back to Arizona? I suppose Helen is there still, and trust she is regaining health & strength rapidly. Wanda must have had a severe …

A National Issue. The Hetch Hetchy To Be Saved To All Who Are Interested In The Conservation Of Our National Parks, John Muir

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

A NATIONAL ISSUE The Hetch Hetchy to be Saved To all who- are interested in the conservation of our National Parks: Secretary of the Interior, Richard A. Ballinger, has recently taken a decided step for which he should be warmly commended. He has called upon the authorities of San Francisco to show cause why that portion of the Garfield permit giving the city a conditional right to flood the famous Hetch Hetchy Valley should not be revoked. The sentiment of the public is very general that San Francisco should not invade the Yosemite Park and destroy scenery of unrivaled beauty. …
