[in margin: [Anto?]]

My dear Sir:

The most interesting book that I have read in many a year is your "Death Valley" which was kindly forwarded by Mr Agnew. I found it interesting from beginning to end, all the more because I am somewhat acquainted with that grand & dreadful desert region, having spent three summers in the Great Basin & nearly perished with thirst a short distance to the north of Death Valley. Your own strong brave kindly character as well as that of many of your companions is nobly …

908 [Nov. 1902]

Dear Mr Biedenback

Rest assured I shall be with you December 1st if I can possibly find a way through the confounded tangle of obligations that holds me here. I see no opening however as yet, or anything that promises one. therefore, much as it distresses me to seem wanting in appreciation of the kindness & honor of your invitation, I must warn you not to count on me. After escaping the common dangers of the wilderness these kind invitations & honors of civilization are like to be the death of me; for from some strange mysterious …

Dear Mr Olney

I have read your "Sixty Years" & wished it far longer. Why not fill up this outline sketch into the book it so vividly & strikingly suggests, taking pains to give it literary & artistic form? In talks with you years ago I was convinced that you could write such a book, & that in the hands of a good publisher it would be in every way successful, a great satisfaction to yourself, family & friends, & to thousands of readers who never heard of …

Some of these reminders have been magazine articles I have read over your signature. Once I met a relitive of yours on a railroad train between New Haven and New York.

Your right hand did it, and your left, your daughter's, dispatched it. So to whom am I to address my words of appreciation? Indeed I have an idea that you do not wish words of thanks,- Let them, therefore be unspoken.

My dear Brother John:

I write to say, in particular, that I shipped a box for you, by freight, yesterday, containing the parts of your wooden clock and other things whittled long ago. I am not at all sure that you will find them satisfactory as they had become so scattered and mixed and possibly broken that it was a very difficult matter for me to know what to send and what to leave here, such as the brass wheels, and iron bars, etc.
Most of the things sent were found upstairs in the barn …

Dear Mr. Muir,

Thanks most sincerely for the sweet proof which came yesterday of your continued remembrance of us. The grapes came in excellent condition, and were fit to have been the grapes of Es[illegible] - only I am sure those never could have had the flavor of these. But chief of all the elements in their bouquet is the flavor of friendship;- and that is daily becoming to me more and more the most precious thing in the world.

I enclose a print of Clarence King which I think is a pretty good likeness of him in his latter years. I send it unmounted, both because it will go more safely, and also that you will be able to mount it as you please.
Of all my pictures in the Kern and King River country I find only twenty-three are good, but fortunately they are almost entirely in the Kern country, and especially around Mt. Whitney. …

You are just too good and kind altogether!

Dear Mr. John Muir,

I am glad to receive your letter of September 29th and to know that you will undertake the Silva review. As for the definite plan to be followed in writing such an article, we should wish you to follow your own sense of the fitness of things--indeed, that you should take what for you would be the path of least resistance. A criticism of technicalities in Professor Sargent's work would, we think, be out of place in such an article, and as the great majority of readers of your article could not, in …
