My Dear Mr. Muir:

Your Christmas present and "reminder of your visit" has at last arrived and been duly christened. It is in the form of a silver coffee pot to complete the silver service that Sierra Club friends gave us when we were married.

The copy of your little BIG book "E.H.Harriman" arrived last week. I had not expected you to send me one yourself,but hoped merely that you would write the publishers to consider me a librarian,to the end that I might obtain a copy.Needless,however,for me to say how much more I prize this book which has been handled by its author and which contains the inscription in his handwriting. I truly thank you.

I thank you for your fine letter, but in reply I can't tell which of all God's trees I like best though I should write a big book trying to. Sightseers often ask me which is best, the Grand Canon of Arizona or Yosemite. I always reply that I know a show better than either of them--both of them.

I am surprised that you are in Martinez at this season of the year, as I supposed you went further South in the winter. I am sorry, too, that you are so much alone, for although it doubtless is favorable to your writing, yet it is not pleasant.
I had a very nice letter from Sarah recently, who mentioned your new books. I fear I am not keeping up with them. I …
