and you know how much work that brings along with it, but it is pretty well along now and I think will be very comfortable when finished. I have been doing rather more then my usual amount of digging making and planting this spring, my tree's and bushes are growing finely and I think repay for all the trouble, my health is rather poor but I manage to be around and help along a little. I keep a girl to do my work and go out of doors a good deal. Maggie has been out here twice lately she …

happiest days & scrap portions of my life were in that old slant walled garret & among the smooth creeks that trickled among the sedges of Fountain Lake meadow In recalling the mechanical achievements of those early days I remember with satisfaction that the least successful one was that horrid guillotine of a thing slicing off gophers heads Those money receipts are all right, You say that business is dull but that you expect to live through it all, certainly you will, As a family we are pretty firmly united & you know that no one tree of a close …

Yosemite Valley

Jan 30th 1870

Dear friend Duncan Sterling, I believe that it is a rule in epistolary intercourse in case of silence on the part of a correspondent who never corresponds from one January to another to strike him off the list. But do not think that you are going to get away so easily. I break all rules in this lawless kind of life.

I hear that you are very well and that you are a storekeeper-post master etc and moreover that you are a “better boy than ever” and are very fond of fish trout. …

I do not see how he can undergo so much fatigue, and feel as if this way of doing must stop before a great while but he does not seem to to see it in that light. I suppose you know where all of the girls are and how they are getting along. I had a letter from Mary. She seems to be enjoying herself first rate. I trust she will …
