Dear Mr Muir

I have a good chance to give your "Adventure with a Dog and a Glacier" a go of a million, or more very likely. It is to enrich a better picture than the above of His Master's Voice.
If agreeable to you, it will be published in small paper-book form, well printed on good paper, with His Master’s Voice, on the cover with title, your name on the title-page of course.
I say it will be publlshed---I am saying too much. The Manager hasn’t seen it yet. I mean I shall advise it, …

Dear Muir:

What in the world has become of you in all these months? Have you passed on to another world or are you shut up somewhere in this one beyond the reach of pen and paper? Let me know what you are about and when you are coming east to learn something about Crataegus.
So far as The Silva is concerned it is off my hands at last, and I am just putting the finishing touches on volume xiv. The two final volumes will be out in the course of a …

Dear Charlie

I did not hear your very well in the phone yesterday. I guess you said that I was to be in time for dinner, & that you would meet me at the Berkeley Station & guide me. If so which boat should I take from San Francisco? I shall be very glad to meet Mrs [Forte?] & the Wheelers in what I hope is to be a quiet informal way Should I not appear at your hospitable cottage than mourn me lost in your town wilds

Mr. John Muir

Dear Sir;

Your letter and the magazine were a pleasant surprise to me last night. It is evidence of your true nobility of soul, to so kindly recognize a stranger and living the lonely life that is my lot, I doubly appreciate your favor. Liberty, to live my own life and follow my own pursuits, has been denied by fate. I have for many years had the care of some one and my aged mother, who is now ninety-four, is at present my constant care. I too am growing old …

Your bountiful - beautiful remembrance reached us yesterday and we spent the evening in the mountains with you Dr. As well as myself enjoyed the reading - a portion of the long letter, and we give you hearty thanks for pleasure received and the big store ahead for a number of evenings to come.

Dear Mr. Muir,

May I remind you again of my very warm interest in your next book and my hope that this spring weather will not lead you wholly away from pen and ink and habits of writing? For it would, I think, be a real deprivation to many if they were to fail of getting both your Alaska and your autobiography. I am retaining the hope of seeing the manuscript of one of the books by fall.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. John Muir.

Dear Mrs. Wilson;

I send by post today two books which I hope yon will read as two long letters from me. I have three or four others to write should I live long enough, and when one writes books letter writing is sure to be sadly neglected.
I was glad to hear from you direct through Wanda. I'm fairly stupid with book work, but nevertheless I'll try to visit you the next time I'm in Oakland. How fast the years have sped since last we met. Remember me to Mr. Wilson and our Forbestown friends. …

Dear Sir;

Mr. Galen Clark of Yo Semite, who is an old friend of mine, favored me with your address. I, too, am a worshipper at Nature's shrine and in the name of our exalted adoration I make an appeal to you. Your knowledge is from the book of nature and your expressed opinion will be accepted as authority. What do you think about the slaughter of birds?

When I saw your letter the other day I said "They are coming at last" But spring is here & I fear you are not to be seen this side the country this season. How kind of your to send so many photographs & the negative They came in good order. I'm distressed to think how often I have called on you for those pictures. Everybody I know keeps begging for them & all like yours the best. In many ways it is a weary burdensome thing to be known in books. Lately

I should have written before and thanked you and Mrs. Muir for your cordial welcome and royal hospitality. It may seem strange to you, but I go so little to the houses of my friends that I hardly know what to do or say in return for their kindnesses. I must have seemed singularly unappreciative of all your courtesy. Credit me with some fine,
