October 26, 1904.

Dear Muir:

I am delighted to get your two notes and your contribution to the Canby Memorial, which I am sure will be greatly appreciated by his family as it is by me.
Nothing new here but hard work and that isn't new. I should like it much better if I was starting off for New Zealand, Australia, or somewhere else in the south where summer is reigning. You haven't told me what you have been doing all summer.

Yours faithfully,
[illegible]

I feel very very grateful to you for your letter about my article in "Out West". It is my first magazine article and yours is the first praise. I count your letter as the most precious one I ever received and I feel a few heads taller. I told Dr Jordan about it and he said "what Muir says goes, as he is the best authority on such subjects" Thank you very very much.

I got back to Philadelphia the other day & came on here with my wife today to go on board the "Oceanic" tomorrow. The weather was somewhat broken after leaving San Francisco but I had not much to complain of on that score.
