John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Martinez, Saturday 9. Nov. 1912Dear Buel,Your letter received yesterday. I suppose on account of rain, nothing has been done on the right of way business, as far as I know. Hav'n't heard a word either from Linning or agents of the Telephone Co.Therefore give yourself no trouble about coming here until you get definite word from me.As to the stipulation that no power line right of way may be granted parallel to the company's telephone line nearer than a thousand feet, it is because of the disturbance from leakage of the power wires.There is no restriction as to other telegraph …

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

' New York City, August 20, 1912. Rkv. II. D. Lamb. Dear tiir, ΓÇö The editor of the Atlantic Monthly has been good enough to send me your letter to him for perusal, ΓÇö I being 'The Outsider.' It was my earnest endeavor to write the article in question without giving offense, but I fear I have failed in this, and even in the more important task of expressing clearly what I meant to say. My point was that Smith is frankly not a Christian; therefore that it is idle to say that he should go to church if he …

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 …
