[Original letter returned to Miss Katharine M. Graydon-]

Martinez, Mar. 12, 1900.

My dear Miss Graydon:

We were all so glad to hear from you after so long a silence under exciting news from Honlulu. That miserable plague is, I hope, gone forever, and now you must cheer up and go to work as if it had been only a bad dream. No doubt you will enjoy your college work. How fortunate you are in having such good and wise friends as the Alexanders. But how terribly the poor of the town must have suffered!
We are all about as …

Berkeley Nov 10th My dear Mrs. Muir; The box of beautiful grapes arrived in fine condition, and I can assure you we have all enjoyed them, and appreciate your thoughtfulness in sending them. Probably you have enjoyed fruit fresh from vine and tree so long that you have forgotten what a vast difference there is between that and store fruit! Please remember me kindly to Helen, I hope she has entirely recovered from her severe illness. Such a siege as she passed through however takes a long time to rally from. Again thanking you I am very sincerely yours Mary …

My dear Johnson -

I'm glad my unborn classic gives you so much pleasure. What your opinion may be after seeing it in the flesh might be another story Certainly something of the sort should be attempted if for no other reason to please you. I wish I could write an article or two for the Century. But the Atlantic. & other articles on hand drag miserably amid so many interruptions. From first to last the Calaveras Sequoias have taken over three weeks of my time. Now they seem safe. …

I had heard so much about its being a "terribly hard walk" that I expected something tremendous but only found a very easy, pleasant walk the teachers and all but five of the girls were very tired and said they could go no farther by the time we were about half way up.

Dear Sir,

It was in Madison, Wisconsin, but I am not sure of the year - was it 1860? I had charge of what was called the "Department of the Fine Arts", and of the large building on the hill which afterwards was …

Her death at the very last-after much weariness, and at times acute suffering, was peaceful and painless-like a sunset. I need not tell you that through the long sickness, she was patient, cheerful, heroic. …
