Dear Mr Muir

I have just had a visit from my friend Rennie who returned from his Californian trip about a couple of months ago and he tells me how very kind you were to him and how much he enjoyed your stories & his stay under your hospitable roof. I only wish it had been my luck to [illegible] with him. The next best thing to hope for, is that the attraction of the old country will soon bring you to Auld Reekie again.

Dear Louie-

When I wrote you last I intended only to rest and take short saunters in the forests about Crocker's and Hazel Green and Yosemite until time for home arrived. But instead of this after five days at Crockers I joined a party and set out a second time for the summit peaks on the heads of the Tuolumne and Merced. We crossed the basin of Yosemite Creek when first I began my studies in mountain sculpture. Thence climbed through …

Both children are perfectly well, and mother is much better, but she has not yet dared to go to ride. The weather has been extremely cool here for several days, the nights are really cold with heavy dew, a great relief after so many hot days, so I suppose …
