Martinez, Cal.,
October 12, 1888.

Dear Annie, [Muir]

I am just utterly ashamed of my failure to write to you, especially since Wanda also has forgotten all her letters, about literally so -- but we both hope to succeed by means of greater comfort hereafter, and so in time, win your best forgiveness. We are all quite well again, and tolerably reasonable, though Baby is confirmed in the habit of having her own way, and tries to imitate "monkey climbing" as high as Wanda, so I am always uneasy of mind for fear of broken limbs or heads!
I suppose …

Johnny Reid has a pit crow and two white doves, a cat, and a puppy. The crow & the cat do not get on very well together. The crow likes to play that the cat's tail is a large worm and will pick it up in his beak. The cat does not like this and will turn and box the crows ears with her paw. Johnny is very fond of pets and plays with them so …

Dear Louie.

We returned to Seattle last evening after spending five days on the upper waters of the Snoqualmie. The rides & walks through the grand primeval woods were very interesting & exciting & telling, & the roughness & wetness of snags bogs & constant rain were as nothing to the soul though something to bones & flesh. Most of that however is rested away leaving only the living immortal beauty in vivid relief. Tomorrow morning at 4.45 we start for Mt Ranier by way of Yelm Prairie. Where we will procure pack animals. There …

Dear Louie and all the household :

I arrived here last Wed. at 1:30 P.M., having been delayed nearly two hours about 40 miles from here by the giving out of the engine which brought us over the mountains. The day being excessively warm this was no small discomfort, but Dan was at the depot to meet me, which was a surprise, as I had not attempted to announce the hour of my arrival, so uncertain were all our movements.
I had begun to feel very tired the day before, and at Denver we were …

Dear Papa,

Last Saturday I addressed my letter for you to Victoria, "The Driard," but as you may possibly not call there on your return, I shall rewrite it now for Seattle. Little Helen is playing now with Grandpa, and likes to stay with him a little while, but whenever I leave her with Grandma and Wanda, she just screams for "mama." Since I left her for four hours to go with Annie to Port Costa, she seems to be watching every movement of mine away from her, and she is homesick also! I shall try to …

But Oh John, you ought not to have left the "Driard" until you had grown much stronger. Anyway, after returning from Vancouver and the Fraser river why not stay awhile at that hotel of comfort "dining deliciously" and growing round and fair to see! Surely you could write out your notes, elaborate a daintily refreshing "Picturesque leader" that even Dewing and Oge might recognize …
