John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Martinez, Sep. 10/02

My dear Sargent, What are you so wildly quitting about? I've faithfully answered all your letters, & as far as I know you are yourself the supreme quitter - Quitter gigantea, guitting Mexico, quitting a too trusting companion in tramps & sand-dunes of [Florida?] etc etc etc. Better quit quitting though since giving the world so noble a book you must, I suppose be allowed to do as you like until time & Siberia effect a cure. I am & have been up to the eyes in work insignificant though it be. Last spring had to describe …

Will you tell me what is the basis of this item from the New York "Times"?
By the way, are there photographs of that new big tree which you have found? and if we should want two or three pages of type about the big trees and photographs of the three largest, could you furnish them? Mr. Gilder is away and I don't know whether he could make room for such an article but I …

My dear Professor Anderson,

I guess you must need plain downright rest with clean reviving exhilarating air & beauty - divine stuff good for everybody this side the immortal regions. As to the mechanical tingling of extra taps, raps or streams of electricity you can hardly be wrong keeping with the treatment as long as you find yourself positively benefitted thereby. October, though sometimes speckled with little storms, is usually a charming - Indian-summerish month in the Sierra sugar pine region at an elevation of 6000 to 7000 feet, easily reached by rail at Tahoe or …

I'm glad to hear that with returning health your heart is on the mountains. For the Kings River country Mr P. A. Kanayer is your man, His address is Millwood He packed all the Sierra Club stuff, has over a hundred animals & all sorts of camping outfits, guides etc. You go by rail to Sanger, thence 50 miles by stage to Millwood where at a few days notice Kanayer will be ready for you. But this is a hard hot trip. Even beyond the Kings Yosemite Canon the ground along the …

Menlo Park, 3 Sept., 1902

Dear Mr. Muir:

I was not thought to be well enough to go with the Sierra Club this summer, but am now sufficiently recovered to be vaguely considering a trip to the mountains somewhere. Perhaps I am not quite equal to going off alone, and at the season my friends are all, so far as I know, busy with their affairs. I had written to John Fox at Millwood, but Jordan tells me he has disappeared. Dead? Do you know of any one I could employ to accompany me and do my packing & cooking? …

Many thanks for the Twins & the Log.- both good; the Twins ridiculously charmingly so. As to your plan of joining 'your girls' in our next off going to the mountains I say with all my heart I'd like it. Surely a brighter abler lot never cheered a wilderness. Even Triangle Gannettt boiled & bubbled in eternal poetry or something like it. Can't you come up some Saturday with Wanda? I wish you may
