Palm Springs, Cal.

June 13 / 05.

Dear Mr. Lummis: -

You made no mistake in sending us here. The water is cool and delightful, so are the nights. The days hot enough and dry enough to evaporate every disease and all one's flesh. On our arrival the first night we lay down under an olive tree in the sandy orchard, and the heat of the sand along our spines brought vividedly to mind Milton's unlucky angels lying on the burning marl. But O the beauty of the sky evening and morning and

Dear Mrs. Swett –

Those doughnuts !!!! Brown cycles of delight are now doing their duty, spending their sweetness in the three Muir pilgrims at balmly palmly Palm Springs. Like the doughnuts among other food so are the Palm Spring gardens beside the blazing desert – an oasis of shade and figs and orioles. Do you remember Milton’s account of the unlucky fallen angels frying like doughnuts in burning Hades ward? So we fried and sizzled in the red hot

Dear Mr Muir,

I take shame to myself that your kind letter of Feb. 15th and the most interesting book which accompanied it should have remained so long unacknowedged.

I have now read several chapters to my wife, and we are both very pleased with the sympathetic interpretation you gave of some of nature's loveliest and rarest pleases.

The great annual thaw begins in May in the forest region, and is in full overflowing prime over the high Sierra in. June, varying somewhat both …

Your Sunday letter was a delightful surprise. Come Thursday or any other day that suits you best. There is a Santa Fe train which leaves San Francisco at 7:30 and arrives at Muir station on the side of our ranch, at 9:00; and an afternoon train leaves for the City at 4:30. This would give you a little longer day here than you would have by the Southern Pacific.
