Dear Mr. Muir,

As the time for the publication of your book, "Our National Parks", draws closer, we grow more interested to meet the date set for publication.The index, however, still remains to be done.

The rest of the proof should come to you now within a few days, and we should be obliged if in sending it back you …

REMINISCENCES OF JOSEPH EE CONTE. BY JOHN MUIR. "T)EYOND all wealth, honor, or even health, is the attach- •*-* ment we form to noble souls." I have been one of Joseph Ee Conte's innumerable friends and admirers for more than thirty years. It was in Yosemite Valley that I first met him, not far from the famous rock beneath the shadow of which he died. With a party of his students he was making his first excursion into the high Sierra, and it was delightful to see with what eager, joyful, youthful enthusiasm he reveled in the sublime beauty of …

We got home Saturday P.M. and had a pleasant trip. The ride down the river canon and through the forest along the top of the dividing ridge of the Tuolumne and Merced was grand - more interesting I think in wide views than either of the other roads. In the canon we passed through lots of Tumion.
As I had guessed I found my table loaded with letters, and proof sheets of my last article on Sequoia which has gone uncorrected into the Sep. Atlantic, and of the first 4 chapters of my …
