My dear Mr. Muir:

What a wanderer you are! I have no idea where to address you, but will send this to Martinez to be forwarded.

Being an ignoramus in science (as well as in much else) this is the first of your published works I have met: and being of stern necessity tied up to an office business - with the hills and streams but of sight and the love of them strong in …
