Jamaica Plain, Plain, Mass,January 2, 1899

My dear Muir:

I am mailing you,at the request of General Abbot,a copy of The Engineering Magazine,published in England,which contains an article on Pacific coast trees, etc.To my mind it has no value, but I am only too glad to comply with any request or suggestion of the General's.

We got another engine & after running 20 or 30 miles the valve gear of the second gave way & we were again at a stand still on the Dakota plain. We got a third & this also broke down in the night & everybody went Hoodoo hunting. We reached St Paul 3 or 4 hours late but by taking a night train to Duluth arrived early enough …

The forests of America, however slighted by man, must have been a great delight to God; for they were the best he ever planted.

To prepare the ground, it was rolled and sifted in seas with infinite loving deliberation and forethought, lifted into the light, submerged and warmed over and over again, …

My dear Mr. Johnson,

I had a long talk the other day with the Vice President of our Sierra Club, Mr Olney, the friend of Irish, on Yosemite affairs, & after I had shown him how faithfully & well the Yosemite National Park was managed,--how sheep & destruction had been fenced out, the natural bloom & beauty called back, & how many visitors were now enjoying it; while the Valley itself, naturally the heart & soul of the park, was the only desolate neglected part of it--a frowsy, dirty, dusty, downtrodden, vular mustang pasture, going with …

Sheffield, [England],August, 29, 1894.

Dear Sir:

In looking over a volume of last year's "Century" Magazine I came upon an article headed John Muir, and underneath the name was his portrait. I remarked to myself, Why that looks very much like my old schoolmate at theWisconsin State University, John Muir. And hastily running over the articleI found to my astonishment that my conjecture was true. I do not know whether you will rememver me or not, but I have a most distinct recollection of you and those wooden clocks and other ingenious contrivances designed to shoot or pitch heavy sleepers …
