PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

My dear Mr Muir-

Well I guess we are going to be real Californians at last. I have just bought a very nice house, lot 140 x 364 feet with some of the grandest trees & shrubbery on it in Pasadena-
I have got to go home at once to get the money to pay for it & get my stuff out here. While we dont expect to get the home fixed up (some repairs & changes) & settled much before early fall, we expect to return here in July to see to the …

My dear Mr. Muir:-

I have recently looked over a number of the specimens which you obtained from the petrified forest last year and from what I have seen of them I would simply verify the statement which I made at your house last [illegible] that they are the remains of large reptiles, generally considered as primitive crocodiles. The most commonly known from of this group is the genus Belodon. The animals are about the same size as the recent crocodiles and have somewhat the same appearance but differ somewhat in the details of structure. …

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Berkeley, April 22, 1907

Dear Mr. Muir –

I find in the herbarium here a specimen of Eucalyptus which in all obvious characters matches yours perfectly. It is E. rubida collected by Maiden, and marked new species. The species had not been published at the time of the British Museum list, which came down to 1900. Consequently we have no indication of where to look for full description. It seems very unlikely that Dr. Strenzel so long ago should have secured a species so little known and so lately distinguished as this – unless, indeed, it had been all this …

They blushingly admitted that what was the business of quite a number perhaps had been performed by none. But one of …

It was very kind of you to send me that anxious little note of enquiry. - It touched me greatly that you seemed so much concerned about me. I don't know what the newspapers have said, but, judging by the results, it must have been something terrific. The matter was really not serious at all:- though it might easily enough have turned out quite otherwise. Beyond a few scarcely discoverable bruises, the chief damage seemed to be a heavy muscular strain in the lumbar region. That now is gone, and I should …
