Dear Louie,

Your letter was pushed under my door this forenoon, afternoon I mean, but Im so sleepy I hardly know which is which. I was very glad to get the news. Have got to my 100th page. Have been at the dentist this afternoon Im too sleepy even to copy anything for you tonight, & too dull everyway to compose anything more, even a letter. Its 12 oclock again though I had resolved to keep better house.

Love to all

My poor dear John,

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.
Cousin Fannie must go back to the city tomorrow, as Mrs. Low cannot get along without her, leaving Grandma's sewing unfinished.
Your manuscript lines are lovely, and just deliciously refreshing for these …

John Muir's Protest against the Wantonness of the Sheep-Herder and Lumberman- Value of the Forests. The forests growing on the western slope of the Sierra are by far the most destructible of the natural wealth of California, but they are being rapidly and ruthlessly destroyed, as if, like a larger kind of pernicious weeds, every available means at the command of a far-seeing, enterprising people should be set in motion to eradicate them. Our gold and silver stored in the rocks may all …
