Martinez, Oct 9, 1905

Darling Helen,

Your letter your reassuring letter came in due Adamana time & I hope for another today. I had a long talk about you with Drs Rattan & Kerr when I paid their bills. They both said that no matter how well you feel you must consider yourself sick for a long time - take no long rides or quick exercise, eat only good food milk, eggs, fresh meat etc & devote yourself to quiet breathing of dustless air. Keep warm & dry etc. The last thing Dr Kerr said as I was leaving was …

Dear Papa -

Your letter reached us this morning and we were both glad to hear that everything was all right at home and that you had reached our little valley safely. We are getting along finely here and I am eating sleeping and feeling well. The good weather keeps up and I enjoy it so. This morning Wanda and Miss Roberts rode over to those two mesas west of Adamana and found it wonderfully interesting country. This morning four nice tourists came on No. 1 and had a beautiful dear day out in the forests. …

Good night and happy dreams.

October 2, 1905

Dear Mr. Muir:

Your letter, telling the story of your afflictions, has pained me inexpressibly, but I am glad you are out in the wild, where if any comfort can come to you, it will come from the free, wind-blown, arid land which we both love.
I hope your daughter may soon recover and that you yourself may gain strength from the pure desert air.

Always cordially yours

I wish I could prescribe for her with the same success as in your case. However, when she is again well and strong, I would recommend a trip on the Columbia, and I shall arrange matters with old ocean, and ours esteemed friends the huge leviathans, for a pleasant voyage.

I have just received a letter from Mrs. Lunam telling me of the sad bereavement you have sustained in the death of your dear wife, and I just send this little note to say how much I sympathize with you in your loss. I experienced the same in 1889 when my first wife died so I know what it is.

Dear Mr Johnson,

I thank you very much for your friendly sympathetic letters. Helen after growing strong here had a severe relapse but is now fast recovering lost ground, though of course I am still anxious & useless as far as literary work is concerned.
Reports about my health were all greatly exaggerated. I have not been sick at all-only tired out & stunned. As soon as Helen is well I hope to get to work, Wanda who also was tired out, is here the strongest of us all.

Ever faithfull & gratefully …

From my California papers I think you are ill as well as Helen, but I am sure your brave spirit will rise to the occasion, and Helen needs you now, doubly, and I feel you will gird yourself anew and good news will reach me I trust soon of your welfare and hers.

We are all greatly distressed by a report that you are sick, and that Helen is also. This is sent rather at a venture - I hope it reaches you. Have Wanda let me know exactly how things stand. Can we do anything? If I could help, I would ask leave of absence and run over to you. Would do so anyhow were it not for the conditions here in the Library, but if I can serve you, I'll do it at any hazard.
