Dear Brother John:

Surely there has been a very long silence between us - In your last letter to me - you gave our "diabolical [Stores?]" such a denouncing, that I wanted to write immediately, and could readily have filled several pages, but being hindered at that time just see how the weeks and months have passed. It does not seem

My dear old friend Prof. Butler,

You are not forgotten but I am stupidly busy, too much so to be able to make good use of odd hours in writing. All the year I have from fifteen to forty men to look after on the ranch besides the selling of the fruit, & the editing of Picturesque California & the writing of half of the work or more. This fall I have to contribute some articles to the Century magazine so you will easily see that I am laden. It is delightful to see you in …

21st August, 1889.

Dear Mr Muir:

We have not yet heard from you in regard to the set of the "Century" concerning which I believe Mr Scott wrote you some weeks ago, thinking it best to tell you how much they would cost before shipping them. He thought you would prefer this. I believe he has put them at their very lowest figure; about or quite at cost.
It will be a great favor to us if you could fix a date at which we might expect the Yosemite article. Meanwhile would it not be well for you to write …

Mr. John Muir
Martinez, Cal.
My dear Muir,

I have seen both the Examiner article and the Argonaut criticism and have written to the former disavowing responsibility for that article, of course taking no notice of the Pixley-Irish card. I have also written shaprly to Hearst and to Williams, the man who made up the interview from a private conversation with me on my way back from Los Angeles. It is, however, such an article as I cannot endorse, containing much that is not mine either in material or in expression, and in jumping into a …

My dear Mr Johnson,

The Examiner published some two weeks ago a long article made up of what is supposed to be your sayings on the Yosemite question. It seems to have been very carefully prepared, & expresses your views very fairly. Dont know who wrote it - perhaps Hamilton. I will send you copy if you care to see it. Last week the Argonaut published a reply to your Examiner interview & it was very bitter. It is in Pixleys style but is signed, John P. Irish, Editor-of the [illegible] "As bees …

I arrived at the office yesterday morning, and found yours of the 28th of June, for which I thank you. I left the city on the 25th, having been very closely occupied during the last three days. I wrote you a letter from Chico, Which was the last resting place for the sole of my foot in California. You got rather more than your share of attention from me in Northern California, as your peak was the only part of Mt. Shasta and Vicinity of which I was able to see anything, the higher …

Mr John Muir

Will you permit me as one of the legion of delighted readers of Picturesque California, to suggest an improvement as to the placing of vignettes and cuts. Up in a corner, down at the bottom, over one side, or entirely across the middle of the page; so the text is not torn, is what I would suggest. What can be more exasperating for instance, than for a reader to be perfectly entranced with living glowing word painting, spellbound, drawing in

It grieves us to think that you have been suffering and miserable while we were too far away to comfort you. We long so to see you, and Helen keeps asking why dear Papa stays away so long. Do come home soon for one day at least. The children are well, and Helen is not so restless and nervous.
