Tuolumne Meadows, July 16

A long, lank Kentuckian named Burkes, Papa and I stayed at the first camp that night and started down the [Tuolumne] canyon very early the next morning, tramped, slid, or crawled as the case might be, all day over awful rocks and through fearful brush, saw the most wonderfully glorious views, had a grand storm in the afternoon, got back to our night camp where the horses were at seven, and back here to the Meadows about nine that same night. Three tired, but very happy mortals. All the people in camp at once tried to …

This is a beautiful place and these great trees are glorious and the air fine. Papa looks like another person since he got up here and rested all of …

Dear Mr.Muir,

It has been suggested to us that a map of the four park [illegible] Would it be possible for you to take a map and mark in red or black ink the trails you have followed and which you have described in the chapters?
We are still puzzling over the problem of illustration, but shall, I hope,reach a satisfactory conclusion in the matter very shortly.

Yours sincerely,

Many thanks for the lot of beautiful & rare pictures which came yesterday. The palm Parkinsonia & bird & squirrel photos are very interesting.

Dear Mr. Muir,

Your paper on the big woods of the Sequoia and General Grant parks has pleased us very much.We have greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of space and strength which you have infused into it.We shall be glad, however,with yourconsent, to omit about a dozen pages of manuscript, for we find in its present form it is unusually long for an Atlantic paper,-and we should prefer a change of title. It has seemed to us that possibly "Hunting Big Redwoods" might serve, but if this does not entirely suit you, it will, I hope, suggest to …

Of course I should prefer electrotype cuts. Those I want are (Opuntia acanthocarpa Beaverdam Mtns. Utah. Plate viii.) (Opuntia Whipplei, Upper Santa Clara crossing, Utah. Plate …

I fear it will take you a long time to read those twelve copies of "Arrows of the Almighty" through, and I really cannot insist. That would be stretching friendship to too great a point; but when you get up into the Yosemite valley you need not conceal the fact that this is the only novel that was ever written, and that it is worth reading.
As the time draws nigh, I do wish I were with you. What a fine …
