Madison, April 21, 1892.

John Muir, Esq.

My dear Friend,

It is too long since I have heard a syllable from you. – Let it not be longer. I give you a leaf of my life, and if I get not one of yours – shall know you have forgot – yourself. Angels must have had charge over me or I could never have survived while swinging round the circle and from Equator to mid-night sun. I have written you that Agnes joined me in London – where we spent six weeks and seven in rural Britain. The two girls …

My dear Mr. Muir:-

We were disposed at first to make use of Mr. Magee's communication in regard to the King's River Canon, but we already had a communication from Mr. Mackenzie on the park question, and we find that it will be inconvient to make room for both,
We send with the manuscript a typewritten copy which may be of use to you or Mr. Magee in finding a place for its …

Kearney, Nebr..

March 6/92

Dear brother John:

How unsociable we are – “uncorresponding” perhaps we might say. This condition of things is hardly necessary seems to me – and neither enjoyable nor profitable. In the first months after coming to Nebraska I wrote two letters to you – but had no answer from them. Your time is much taken up I know, and is so much more valuable than mine – that I have but little claim to any of it – but I should very much enjoy hearing from you again. My health is now very good. I …

Indianapolis,
Sept.6th, 1891.

My dear Mr. Muir,

I have before me two letters - written by you from near 'Snellings' in the spring of 1869 - more than twenty year ago! As I have read them over I have felt a strong desire to thank you for writing them- even though I may have done it long ago. They open up to me and describe in your own way your life as a shepherd,---the life in nature, the birds, bees, hares, or squirrels - the trees, the mosses and lichens-the sky and stars. The sheep, while cared …

Strasburg, May 25, '91.

John Muir, Esq.,
My Friend:

Afar and yet near. More and more am I grieved that I did not see you last August. On my way west I caught the worst cold I ever had, and rushed aboard a steamer, having great faith in the ocean cure. Nor was I disappointed.
But at my landing in Japan cholera was seizing 200 victims a day in Tokio. I feld with some missionary friends to Nikko. The R.R. was washed away, and I had much wandering by Jin-rikisha in unbeaten paths. I was also in Chu-sen-ze, Yu-moto, Nagoya, …

Dear brother John

Yours of Jan 13. was gladly received, a letter from your hand always brings pleasure with it, but you have been so exceedingly busy these last years they have come few, and far between. I am sorry that business drives you so unmercifully that you find it necessary to work in the night, as well as the day. I hope that in some way matters may be so arranged that you will be able to take things more moderately

Dear Mr Johnson,

I am at home & have not made the King's River trip at all. After trying to get Keith & others to go with me I made up my mind to go alone & set the day for starting but my father-in-laws health was evidently failing so fast I had to give up the excursion. And it is well I did for in less than a week from the date of my intended start he died. He left us on the last day of October passing on to the better land calmly and …
