Mr. Peter L. Trout,
Hotel St. John.
San Jose, Cal.

M.S. and letter received. Glad to hear from you. I'll look over the M.S. In few days, and write you my opinion.
Don't allow yourself to be drawn into an exciting fight concerning domestic affairs. It would result, I think, in no good but in all probability would make matters worse.
You are doing just right - climbing mountains. Go to Yosemite when you can, and go on with your life epxeriences. Nothing like going up canyons and mountains for troubles …

Dear Dr. Merriam:-

Many thanks for your kind letter. Should the New York cold get worse just jump on a fast train and come straight to our house for the balance of the winter, and cure is sure.
The Paleobotany job I imposed on you is I fear, giving you lots of bother in the midst of your huge winter work-pile. I have "Studies in Fossil Botany". Scott, "Fossil Plants". Seward. Vol.1. "Fossil Botany". Solms-Laubach. and on the way from Europe I have Schimper's Paleontologie vegetale, and Brongniart's Histoire des vegetaux fossiles. But I have none of …

Dear John Muir.

I send the first part of my experiences and would ask you to look over it: and tell one what you think about it. Do not hesitate to tell me that it is a failure if you think so. I have not made up my mind what I will do with it, or whether I will do anything with it, but will get it into shape as I need something to occupy my time.
