Dear Mr. Taylor:

I thank you very much for your kind and flattering invitation to the blossom festival the 18th inst., which I would gladly accept if I could. But the work on my hands will make any excursions at this time, however delightful, impossible.

Dear Willie :

If all goes well I'll try to be down for that luncheon should next Friday or Saturday. If it/happen that neither of these days should suit Mr. H[errin]'s engagements please let me know.
I am writing to-day to George Fiske, and will be glad to do all I can for him. I don't think there is the slightest cause for fear that he will be turned out of the Valley.

Dear Willie [Keith]:

I'll be down Saturday, and will meet you and Mr. Herrin at your studio at 12. I have to attend a Sierra Club meeting at 11 o'clock. Perhaps the Palace or St. Francis may be better than [the] University Club, but of course we will have Mr. Herrin decide.

Mr. Chas. F. Townsend,

Battery Park,
New York.

Dear Mr. Townsend:

The southmost of the coast mountains on which I have myself seen the wild goat is Mt. Rainier, though undoubtedly it was at one time abundant on the snowy peaks much farther south. Hunters have told me that they had found skulls on Mt. Shasta, one of which was shown me, but it proved to be a skull of the female mountain sheep. Whether or not the goat still exists on Mt. Hood I can't say, but I …

My dear Friend

for a generation backward and for countless more to come.
Last week I read in the MArch No. of the Century of Burbank's Miracles which had before been hid from my eyes - At once I began to [blazon?] abroad the revelation which had flashed upon me like the lightening which unfolds heaven and earth ere one can say "it lightens" -
Others' eyes I soon found had sooner than mine felt the scales falling from their lids - yet no one had seen so much as not to …

Dear Mr. Reimers:

I know nothing at all of the steps you would have to take to get a Yosemite landscape job.
I suppose the Valley will be managed like the Yellowstone, but as I understand it the management not only of the forest reservation but also of the national parks has been transferred from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture, and at the head of this branch of the department is Mr. Pinchot. What changes will be …

Mr.John Muir,
Martinez, Cal.
Dear Mr.Muir:--

I have your favor of February 26th and have deputized Mr.Keith to arrange time and place for our luncheon, but from some remarks he made I think it is very unlikely that he will select South Dome or any other California mountain as the place. He evidently prefers more accessible points, when you and he arrange the details, I will be happy to join you.

Very sincerely yours.

JOHN MUIR gathering season, and the owner of the orchard was found by the messenger, at his post among heavily-laden trees. A shade of mock despair passed over his face, and picking a cherry, he exclaimed in his native dialect: "Dinna ye see that, mon? That red-faced, bald- headed, sleek, one-legged wretch? I'm an absolute slave to that diwil. So, I can na go, I can na go." From this example and from many others of the kind which might be. adduced, it is plain that the life which we have now considered at some length runs the whole gamut …
