Jamaica Plain Mass.,…June 8,…1897.My dear Muir:I am much obliged for your note of May 31st with information about Pinus Sabiniana.
I have read your article fcn Harper's Weekly with a great deal of pleasure. It is admirable and it ought to have been published a month earlier, although I do not know if anything would have changed the course of events. I feel pretty blue about the outlook in which I cannot see a single redeeming feature. I cannot divest myself of the idea that the director of the Geological Survey induced Bliss to hold back …

My dear Friend.

It is the purpose of the faculty here to give you the degree of L L.D. at the next commencement. The idea is that it belongs to the institution where you studied so long and would gladly have studied longer, to recognize your discovery of America, that is wide areas of it that were before unknown, and that but for you would have remained so not a little longer.
By the way you have noticed,--I hope without envy--the glorious advancement of your fellow apostle or missionary Sheldon Jackson - the last …
