Mr. F. B. Millard,

[1901]

My dear Sir:

I heartily thank you for your kind letter, and for the clipping from the Examiner, though I had seen it at the time of its publication.
It is always pleasant to learn through such appreciative and helpful notices as yours that one's work is not altogether in vain, especially from men like yourself who know how hard [and] laborious any sort of honest literary work is.
I shall be very glad to see you at my house any time. I seldom leave home at …

Martinez, Cal., Oct. 21, 1900.

Mrs, Richard Swain,

That you have so long remembered that sketch of the wind-storm in the forest of the Yuba gives me pleasure and encouragement in the midst of this hard life work, for to me it is hard, far harder than tree or mountain climbing. When I began [my] wanderings in God's wilds I never dreamed of writing a word for publication, and since beginning literary work it has never seemed possible that much good to others could come of it. Written …

My dear Mrs. H[oward]:

I would gladly go to Tamalpais and a thousand times farther to stay the ruthless destruction of [the] forests you refer to. But, alas, all land thereabouts is private property, and what more can I do in the way of protest and efforts to make public opinion for the defense of the trees than I am doing? I am now at work on a book on the forest parks and reservations which I hope to get out soon.
I hope, however, that a block of redwoods may yet be saved …

I am back at last,after seven weeks' absence In the southern woods,to find your two letters. I am sorry if I have appeared peevish. I daresay the accusation is well taken. Perhaps you would be peevish If you had Crataegus on your hands, to say nothing of lots of Other new species,turning up constantly in all parts of the country and all demanding a place in The Silva which I had supposed and hoped was finished a year ago. It will take me all this year to complete …

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

492 The Perplexities of a College President. The Forests of the Yosemite Park. 493 of our colleges and universities to-day is such that the president is easily overridden in all these matters by any faculty committee into whose hands work that is properly executive is generally committed. The result of all this is the present only too general attempt to build a comfortable house on a six-by-nine foundation, to secure satisfactory technical training with narrow and insufficient preparation, to attempt to establish university methods with students whose preparation to work under such methods has been little more than academic, and …

If you have not heard from Martinez since I visited your brother John, this letter will be a surprise to you; but, as I was there on the 16th and 17th, it is probable that you have heard that I have been there.
