Palais d'Orsay,

Dear Wanda and Helen,

I suppose and hope and pray that you and your fellow mountaineers are having a good Sierra time, and that you will all be safe at home ere this reaches you.
We have been in this wonderful city four days, and what big, novel, beautiful, and bewildering days they were! so full, so crowded with exciting scenes and sounds and events! These four days seem as indefinitely long as a geological period. We have walked and driven through all the famous streets and parks, visited the great cathedrals, Notre Dame, …

Dear Louie,

We expected to start for Paris today, but concluded to wait until tomorrow to give time to visit Frogmore, a magnificent estate about 25 miles from here full of grand trees and shrubs from all the world, mingled with those of Britain. We saw many of our own conifers which were sent to England by David Douglas. The lawns and gardens and groves are far more beautiful and wild looking and grand than I could imagine a planted manufactured landscape [might] be made.

Dear Helen;
Here is the log of our slow, huge leviathan of the deep, the Celtic. The sea was so smooth we might have crossed in a conoe. We are having a great time in great London. Yesterday we went out into the country 24 miles and saw 60 acres of Rhododendrons in bloom, a glorious sight. Also went to the famous Zoo and saw the beasts, birds, etc. pictured in that book we gave Allen M. Ray and a thousand more. At night to a big dinner,though all our dinners are big, am getting able appetite. …

Dear Louie, Wanda, Helen,

We arrived in London Saturday at midnight. Yesterday we walked through St.James and Hyde Parks. They are full of fine trees and have many magnificent spacious lawns and far-reaching vistas leafy and flowery,suggesting pure wildness rather than the heart of the biggest city in the world. In the afternoon we went to Kew and enjoyed the grand trees and shrubs, especially the Rhododendrons most of which are in full bloom.

My dear Mr. Muir:

I regret very much that I was not here when you called on Friday; I wanted to see you before you sailed and especially to take up the book question with you. The situation has changed very much since we published the "Mountains of California" nearly ten years ago, and there are several things which we should do differently now. It was an experiment to put out such a volume, with fifty or more pictures scattered through the text, and sell it for one dollar and fifty cents retail - the price of …
