My Dear Brother John:-

Yours of July 2nd has been received and I have sent it to Mr Cory who is my associate and will do all in his power but I fear to expect him to carry it longer for the mortgage belongs to his father and he has helped me much already.

My Dear Janet:

I was glad to get your fine spacious all-round-the family letter. We too have had our share of Grippe & things that make pain &trouble even in so good a love-filled world as this. I suppose that through Annie you have heard of the death of Dr. Strantzel. How great the loss only those who have suffered may know. The family is broken like a house torn asunder & half taken away. Little Helen only four years old we feared would follow him with a broken heart. …

Your letters & telegram received. I am bending & stretching at the oar in this Kings River article hard as I can. Had a good trip but a little hard. Had to walk in the Yosemite from the Sequoia Park.

Mule with all our goods went down the river but was caught on a grand [illegible] Robinson grawling & blaming the sun spots for all. etc etc etc But we had a fine rich time for a’ that.

But at my landing in Japan cholera was seizing 200 victims a day in Tokio. I feld with some missionary friends to Nikko. The R.R. was washed away, and I had much wandering by Jin-rikisha in unbeaten paths. I was also in Chu-sen-ze, Yu-moto, Nagoya, …

My dear Mr. Muir,

I feel that I owe you some explanation as to my apparent apathy in regard to the proposed Sierra Club. I have by no means given up the idea and have done a little looking towards organization. A short time after I had the talk with you, however, it was intimated to me that it might be possible for me to secure a leave of absence from the University and spend two years in study in Europe. Under these circumstances, as it seemed probable that I could take but little part in …
