My very Dear Muir,

What a long time since seeing or hearing from you. I can't stand it any longer so write in hopes to hear from you.
I am much pleased that our Board of Education have named one of our schools for John Muir. Seldom is such an honor conferred upon a live man they just wait until he has passed on so he could not object if he would or glory in the honor. I am so pleased because I know it will be an inspiration to the children, just as it is …

,Many thanks for your loving invitations to your blessed Castle home on the Hudson.

But Ive been with you all the time in heart and mind and have never lost hope of meeting you all again after this fight is over.
The Raker bill has been meanly skulked and railroaded and logrolled through the House but we are hoping it will be checked in the Senate and sober second thought will prevent the …

Dear Maggie Lunam.

Annie Hay's letter brought the sad news of your blessed mother's journey to the better land. The news was not unexpected, could not be after reaching the grand old age of ninety years, and I was very glad to learn that she suffered no pain, passing away in perfect peace like sleep full of God's love. I used to meet her on the winding stairway in Grandfathers old stone house when she was in the full bloom of youth. and those lang syne days were brought vividly to mind when I was …

Not a day shall go by, dear Mr. Muir, before I tell you of my grateful appreciation of your thought of me and your kindness in sending me your book.

Your friendly letter, with its words of warm appreciation of my uncle Gen. Noble, & of helpful suggestions for me, was just what I hoped for - & it is not often that a letter is quite that, is it? Indeed, its kindness, & the fact that the objects of the Sierra Club, as set forth on your letter-head, include the publishing of "authentic information concerning" the mountain regions of this coast, encourage one to ask you many more questions.
We are on the eve of departure for Tulare, where …
