My dear friend

How good of you to send me the advance copy of your new book. I take it as an honor, and a token of warm friendship and it takes its place with my other treasured books from you. Did they persuade you to change the title? I liked "When I was a Boy" better than its present name. I imagine you let other people have their own way about what you look upon

OUT OF THE WILDERNESS OUT OF THE WILDERNESS BY JOHN MUIR I learned arithmetic in Scotland without understanding any of it, although I had the rules by heart. But when I was about fifteen or sixteen years of age I began to grow hungry for real knowledge, and persuaded father, who was willing enough to have me study provided my farm work was kept up, to buy me a higher arithmetic. Beginning at the beginning, in one summer I easily finished it, without assistance, in the short intervals between the end of dinner and the afternoon start for the harvest …

Martinez Oct. 30, 1912Dear friend Katharine HookerI saw Marian last Saturday just for a moment as we stepped from a train at the Palo Alto station. I was startled & surprised as if she had suddenly appeared on one of my Amazon vine-tangled jungle walks. Strange that we had been in adjacent cars without knowing it, as if in the eternal unfitness of these contrary heart things neither long or short journeys together were ever to be allowed us. She was on a visit to a cousin & I to the Kelloggs, & as we all met in a bunch …

Your interesting excursion to the edge of Mexico is so full of good things it might easily be be enlarged to a magazine article that would be more readable than anything I could write on Africa or South America. Motoring with a crowd of admiring friends and a shovel and coffee pot, drowning the engine in a small San Diego Amazon, scrambling down precipices etc must have been picturesque & exciting and not altogether dangerless.
