My dear Mr. Muir,

I am preparing my annual report on the Varieties of glaciers, and hope you can give me some information about the Alaskan or other western glaciers. I have not yet had any definite information regarding the effect of the earthquake of 1899 on the tide-water glaciers; have you? I was very much interested in your account of the Alaskan glaciers in the Report of the Harriman expedition, and the pictures in the two volumes are splendid. I was at Mt Hood and Mt Adams last summer and saw their glaciers pretty well, …

Your kindness, interest, letters, and the little talks have been such a delight, When Seaton Thompson's star rose on the horizon I was in throes, lest he equal you. I couldn't have it. For some weeks I've intend-ed writing, but didn't like to without making some reference to the book about my sister, and I couldn't hear anything of it, or only of the "scraps" …

Dear friend of auld lang syne I'm delighted to find you & see your handwriting after this long silence. It is wonderful how people drift apart on varying currents of duty & work without intention. I've never forgotten you - never forget any of my old friends, but I'm usually in the wilderness all summer & in my study all winter so I seldom make visits. Oakland seems farther away than Alaska, - have not made a single visit in your town during the last fifteen years.
