Mr. John Muir,

My dear Sir,

In a recently written essay on American nature-lovers, it has been my privilege and pleasure to refer to your "Mountains of California" and the Altlantic Monthly essays. The editor who holds my article wants some illustrations - which fact I mentioned to Mr. Robert Underwood Johnson (who presented

Mr. Charles Webb Howard,

Dear Sir:

No one of the members of the S[ierra] Club,do far as I know, is able to give instruction on scientific forestry. Certainly I am not, though we [are] all interested in a general way in seeing forest harvests reaped in such ways that the forests shall last forever.
I shall with much pleasure call the attention of the Club to your kind and hopeful request.
Very truly yours,

My dear Dr. Mellichamp:

Many thanks for the fine specimens of P. Cubensis nicely and carefully prepared and packed. They arrived in fine condition, and brought vividly to mind an amusing picture at a railroad station in Florida. While waiting for a train one Sunday morning I offered a bare legged negro boy a dime to climb a tall Cubensis for a flowering branchlet. Instantly fifteen or 20 of them splashed across into the wet hollow where the tree grew and began to climb, boosting each other or pulling each …

In 1859 the Department of Law began its work in education at the the university of Michigan, with three professors and ninety students. The faculty consisted of Thomas M. Cooley, James V. Campbell and Charles I. Walker. Judge Cooley resided in Ann Arbor and the other gentlemen lived in Detroit. At this time these men were young and inexperienced in educational work and had not achieved in any marked degree, success at the bar. Today the lives of Cooley, Campbell and Walker make up some of the best chapters in the history of the State of Michigan, and the better …

Mr. Robert Underwood Johnson,

My Dear Sir:-

your recent letter asking about the condition of the supposed Armstrong forest and our duties as trustees was duly received, but I could not at once reply, because, although I presumed as you did that the death of Colonel Armstrong ended the whole matter, I still thought it necessary to ascertain the facts.
I was in Santa Rosa a few days ago (the county seat of Sonoma), and there examined the history of the redwood land in question. I found that in 1892 a deed was recorded transferring …

My dear Merriam,

I couldn't find enough of nuts on the ranch to send you though there used to be plenty of them. Therefore I ordered some sent from the City; also a case sauterne. Don't pay freight, as it is paid at this end of the route. Divide with the Baileys and then you can probably get rid even of the little prunes. If not then divide again with the park mammals.

Ever yours,
