My dear Cousin, I thought I had written to you at New Year. I am sorry to hear of Mr Buchan's illness The breaking down of a brain is always a sad sight & mostly hopeless. The only comfort is in the love of friends & back looks on a life well spent. Mrs Kellys case is sad too though she bears her trouble so well. Remember me to her, I always look back with pleasure to the evenings spent at her house. I'm sending with this a copy of a magazine which has one …

concerned on Lotties sickness

Martinez, March 1/98

My dear Mr. Lukens

We were very glad to receive your letter Yesterday telling dear little Lottie's return to health through the terrible dangers of that Scarlet Fever. Now the danger lies in taking cold & bringing on after effects too well known that last a lifetime - blindness deafness etc. No doubts you will guard her most strictly against this.

Heaven bless the child is the prayer of your friend.

My dear Cousin John:

It seems a very long time since we heard from you. I sea the date of your last letter is Oct. 15, tolling us of the death of Mrs. Strentzel. Maggie and I often speak about you all, when sitting by the fireside in the long winter evenings. However, the days are getting much longer now, which does not make it so dreary for us two.
We had a kind long letter from Mrs. Galloway from Portage the beginning of the month. She mentions that you had a cold, bronchitis, which …

the likiness too is good, I have seen one in another paper which I think must have been taken from the same negative.
You ask me to try to find out how Joanna is getting on in regard to money matters that is something that I think she will be very slow to make mention of. still if I do find out that she is in need at any time I will let you know. I think that she would put aside a part of her money for a time of need and that for some time at least …

THE WILD PARKS AND FOREST RESERVATIONS OF THE WEST. " Keep not standing fix'd and rooted, Briskly venture, briskly roam ; Head and hand, where'er thou foot it, And stout heart are still at home. In each land the sun does visit We are gay, whate'er betide: To give room for wandering is it That the world was made so wide." The tendency nowadays to Wander in wildernesses is delightful to see. Thou sands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain …

The season here has been very cook, but lately we are having lots of rain and the weather is very warm now, warm enough, to make us feel tired and stupid. but things are growing finely. In a letter David wrote to Annie some time since he said that Carrie and her two boys were with him, also that they were expecting Anne and perhaps Mary. so you will have lots of company this summer, and how much they will enjoy their visit. I received a Harpers Weekly a few days since, which I thought …

It gets on very slowly and I am beginning to feel that I shall never be good for very much hard walking again.

You have been frequently in our minds and hearts since our grand trip together -- and upon the 'explorers' ' panel of my library I have your picture taken by Perry upon the Glacier.
