thanks for photos of my taking

Martinez. Jan. 23. 1901

My dear Lukens,

The handsome tree photos arrived yesterday & I shall add them to the Grand Album. The Muricata and [one?] of the Sabines are handsome trees & they are very hardy. They should be oftener planted in parks & gardens. So also should the Common Nut-Pine (monophylla) which when young forms a handsome broad cone.

Ever Yours John Muir

Mr dear Mr. Muir,

I am after you again for information about the Alaskan glaciers. Have you been fortunate enough to visit that country again last summer? Remarkable reports have reached the east with regard too the immense effect on the glaciers of the earthquake of Sept, 1899. Can you give me any authentic information on the subject? And last Oct. the papers said that a big piece of the end of the Windom glacier had broken off. This seemed strange to me, as this glacier does not reach tide-water. I was in Switzerland again last …

My dear Mr Lukens,

The little handy tree book you propose would be useful to campers & travelers in general & might I think be made readable; but I have so much on my hands at present it will be long ere I can undertake any new work. Such a book should include the shrubs, & the showiest of the flowers. You must know most of them yourself by this time. I have not heard from Mrs Carr for six months or more. Do you know how she is?

I was not quite drowned last Sunday and reached here safely none the worse for my soaking. I did not take cold and the furnace is in working order and I am feeling very well and happy. I was glad that I sent you home for the station hill was awfully muddy and wet, the tunnel is a pretty good place to wait in and I did not feel any draught but I don't think it would have been good for a girl with a cold. I'm afraid Arthur's idea of the Santa Fe was …
