Dear Louie and all:

We have been here two days resting and gazing and meeting old friends of my mountaineering days. We arrived about ten A.M. and leave for the North to-day about eleven A.M. and will probably go direct to Portland.
The old mountain is, and has been since we came, glorious with crown and drapery of clouds -- now cloudy, now clear -- bits of points and bosses showing out weirdly through the satiny, gauzy, sun-filled clouds, the whole summit at times looming to a fearful height in the keen upper heavens with …

Dear Louise:

We have at length got everything ready and will start this evening at 6:30. About 8 o'clock we will be in sight of Martinez. All night we will be rumbling up north through the sandbeds and stubble-fields of the Sacramento disturbing the night hawks dhoolets[?]. By daylight we will be in the Canon (Canyon) of the upper Sacramento and the roar of the train will be lost beneath the louder roar of the rock chafed river. Soon the snowy cone of Shasta will be seen above the close pressed ranks of …

I do not know what you may think about my not answering your kind and very much prized letter sent nearly a year ago. The very shame of it in my mind has helped me to continually postpone.
On getting your letter I had pretty well made up my mind to go, and thought I might possibly get off in the latter part of July, or at the latest, in course of the fall, and postponed writing till I could speak definitely in regard to it. The situation is …
