Dear Sir

If you are publishing anything about New Zealand botany, or if anything you have already said or written on the subject has been noticed in my papers I shall be infinitely obliged for particulars. I had the pleasure of meeting you on the "Ventura", but was too ill to make any use of the privilege.

Yours truly

Martinez, July 6, 1904

Dear professor Sargent:

Our St Petersburg guide is John Baravoi, Hotel I Angleterre
I was glad to get your letter of June 16th in which you sketched your travels & fortunes after we parted at Shanghai but said not a word about your family though I enquired particularly about Alice. I had several good letters from Nicholson. In his last he tells me that Sir Joseph is better & again at work in the

h[illegible]ism. I'm sorry dear good Canby died so soon. He should have lived & botanized for longer.
You should not begrudge time …

My dear Sir:

Good lovers of God's wildness are far from common even in these days of nature books, nature studies, and annual outings, etc., so you may be sure I sorely regret missing you. I was in Australia when your kind letter to me was written (March 29th), and did not get home until the end of June. It was some days later before I found it in the big talus of books, pamphlets, and letters piled on my desk. But you must come again. …

Dear Mr. Murdoch :

The trip you propose making is a good one. The Yellowstone Park is of itself well worth coming for. If you return from the West by way of the Santa Fe, you should, after seeing as much as possible of the Grand Arizona Canyon, visit the petrified forest, which lies about 150 miles to the East of the canyon near the railway, and is easily reached. It is one of the great wonders of the West though comparatively little known as yet.

Last summer, nearly a year ago, I wrote you a great long letter, enclosing a New York Draft, for $100., from C. H. Jay. You should have received it, about the time you were in the Yosemite Valley, with our president. And as I learned afterwards, that you had left imediately after that, for Siberia, with an exploration party; so when I received no answer, I concluded that your abscence accounted for it. But you must have returned long before this; …
