I am very glad to have your letter of April 12th and to see how buoyantly you are making plans for your future work.

I hope you are going to give us the pleasure of seeing your Colorado Cannon and Yosemite Valley books, and I need hardly assure you that the Atlantic will be glad to welcome any parts of those books which seem to fit the …

We are now trying an experiment with another story of about the same length; if that is a success we …

Dear Mr. Muir

I send you today a copy of the Nati[illegible] containing my review of your 'National Parks'. Though a very busy man, I read every word of it and wished there was more; but I told my wife that if I read another of your books I should carry her off & build a hut in the Sierra Nevada! She is not quite ready yet for that, but when I am too old for jou[illegible]istic [illegible] I shall certainly do something of the sort.

Dear President Jordan,

Indeed it was a delightful one -happy hours of forgetfulness of struggle and strife - deep-breathing enjoyment in the great solitudes, which you so masterly describe. Indeed, I have been with you, and I felt the vast places breathe upon me, and I lay on the forest-ground rapt by the music of wind-tossed trees, and I stood in the cannon abyss by the onrushing mountain brook, its glad song rejoicing through my heart, its …
