Letter From John Muir To Ina Coolbrith, 1910 Jun 11, John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Martinez, June 11, 1910
Dear Ina:
I’ve been away nearly three months in Los Angeles until called home by my sister Margaret’s illness. The doctors give no hope of recovery though she may linger a long or short time. She suffered an apoplectic stroke last Saturday after a very long severe attack of Grippe, and is very feeble, sometimes fails to recognize her own daughters though she always knows me and clings to me.

ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON,EDITOR.CLARENCE CLOUGH BUEL,ASSOCIATE EDITOR.June 10, 1910My dear Muir:It is with reluctance that I send back to you Rev. S. Hall Young's paper, but I think it is just as well to distribute the interest in J. M. and American scenery and to have it go somewhere else. We are about to print in the August number Miss Barrus's article on "John o' Birds and John o' Mountains," and a charming article it is; and it would be more than a year before we could have another article of the same general character. I feel sure the Atlantic would …

June 9th, 1910.Dear Mr. Muir,I ventured the other day -to give Mr. Sedgwick of the Atlantic the opportunity of reading your Journal of your first summer in the Sierra.

We are now, however, disposed, in case you agree to postpone it until spring or the following autumn, in order to give the Atlantic the right of way.We believe that …

(Copied from fragment marked Y-6)6th June [1910]Dear Mr. Hooker:By the time I reached home yesterday afternoon at 3 o' clock I found that Sister Margaret had slowly recovered from the slight paralytic stroke she suffered last Saturday.

She knew me, however, at the first glance, and embraced and kissed me as she always did, and tried to tell how glad she was to see me once more. She is perhaps a little better to-day, but the doctor's reports give but little hope. She clings …
