Dear Mr Muir.

I am just back from your glacier which I found & left in good state of health - but it gave me a rather cool reception on as fair a morning as ever smiled on its rugged whiteness. It only sent out a cohort of floaters about the bay to receive us. I propose to go into the Kings River region this week some time. My last from Dr Merriam

I'm delighted to hear from you & get a sketch of you life, though a meagre one, in the long eventful years since our Yosemite days. I have no lack of friends & have acquaintances in every rank almost everywhere nowadays, but I never forget old friends, & those of early pioneer days in the grand Sierra are my especial delight. I have often wondered where you were & how the battle of life was going with you. I remember you took a great liking to Mr Hamilton the carpenter …

My dear Muir:

What in the world has become of you? Have you disappeared in the ruins of the Muir glacier or dried up and blown away like one of your beloved alpine Junipers? The last time I heard from you was in the early spring when you said you were going to join Canby and me before we got home from the south. The habit of quitting seems to be growing on you badly.
I have been hard at work all summer and have not been away but for one day since …

REMINISCENCES OF JOSEPH EE CONTE. BY JOHN MUIR. "T)EYOND all wealth, honor, or even health, is the attach- •*-* ment we form to noble souls." I have been one of Joseph Ee Conte's innumerable friends and admirers for more than thirty years. It was in Yosemite Valley that I first met him, not far from the famous rock beneath the shadow of which he died. With a party of his students he was making his first excursion into the high Sierra, and it was delightful to see with what eager, joyful, youthful enthusiasm he reveled in the sublime beauty of …

I. j 304 Hunting Big Bedwoods. may be set down to the not yet closed account of reconstruction. This, too, was a crime which in old times was not known in the South. Among the better signs is the increasing feeling that it is best, on the whole, to leave every section to work out its own problems. Many years ago Mr. Seward said of the negro race: " They will find their place ; they must take their level. The laws of political economy will determine their position and the relation of the two races. Congress cannot contravene those." …
