You may remember that in writing to you several weeks ago about your review of professor Sargent's "Silva", I mentioned the fact that we are planning to issue one number of the Atlantic in which every article shall be written by a Californian.We have now decided to issue this California number in July of the present year. Owing to the time required for getting proofs back from the authors, we are anxious to have all the material for the number in hand by …

My dear Mrs. Muir: This is a bright day, quite as a California New Year might begin, with green grass in place of last week’s snow. I have thought often of the day’s pleasure you and Mr. Muir gave us and I have wanted to write and assure you of my remembrance. But school teachers I believe, seldom make good correspondents, and even my family think themselves neglected. My work grows more absorbing each year and for the first time, I find the mid-year vacation too long. That, too is despite the fact that I have been having a charming …

I am getting on very slowly with the little Yosemite book on account of so many other time-killing things.

Dear Mr.Shepard:

I have never seen or heard of a large photograph of Mt. Whitney, nor of good telling ones of any size. Whitney is a difficult subject, because it has comparatively little individuality, being only one of the many lofty fragmentary residual masses into which the southern Sierra has been carved - the highest tooth of California's great white mountain saw. From the north it presents a well-marked helmet-shaped summit with the sheer front facing eastward. From Owens Valley at the base of the Range it is scarce at …

Your letter makes me lonesome. Goodbye. Alas, alas, ou0r happy Kaweah-Whitney band, how fast and far it is flying apart. But it's natural - the way of everything mortal.

It was so kind of you to send those most interesting cypresses.
