John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Dear friend:

I feel that I must talk to you a little while, and perhaps can any more fully what I wish in this way than In another.
You know me, now, more fully than any other living soul upon earth, for you have known me when most weak in body and mind, when deeply hurt and most anxious, and doubtful about myself. I feel stronger now, and wish you to know me at all times.

P.S.

A box has just come to my address - aunt Ette seems to be in the secret and says it is from Wanda and the contents are for mother except the gloves, which are for me - but alas they are too small for my great hands for I wear 7 3/4.
Many thanks to Wanda and a happy and prosperous New Year to her and Tom.

Dear Mrs Muir Webster,

I heartily congratulate you on your good scotch name. To be born of Scotch parents is a great blessing. Muir is rather a common name in Scotland and whether we are nearly related or not I don't know; but to be Scotch at all and related to the heasher moorlands or Muirlands, is a grand f[illegible]. Should you ever come to this side of the continent come to my house, I shall, I assure you, be glad to see you, and I am ever faithfully yours.
