Dear Papa & Mama

This is the end of the second & hardest day and me & everyone else is feeling fine & not the least bit tired. Every one has had to go with the three days party because the grass at both [Burton's?] & [illegible] Meadows was too short for even a few horses & besides as all the gentle horses &mules are being riden & there is only one good leader, the others are all wild, part of them were "broken" for the occasion the day before we started & …

Dear John Muir:

I hope the "Glaciers" have by this time made their way to the encyclopedic sea, and broken off and drifted away, leaving you footloose. I have just this morning mailed my article on California to the same office--and it has made me hump this week to put so much California into so small a pinhole as ten thousand words.

I should be very glad if you would tell me what camp outfit, supplies, and stock you consider needful for your expedition with the President. The Washburn Brothers have offered the services of two mountaineers, Leonard and Leidig, whom they describe as the very best men of whom they know for camp helpers. You could take along one or both, or leave them both behind, or send them on in advance to make camp, just as you would prefer. I wish very much that you might find it possible to meet …

What you have to do is to find a notary public in San Francisco, answer such questions as he will ask you about yourself, and then he will do the rest. There are notary publics in every city who make a business of procuring passports. I advise you to ask Mr. Alvord about this. …
