My dear friend Mr. Muir,

A very [interesting] incident occurred this A.M.I got hold of a notice published in a Detroit paper of your account of the glaciers in Alaska, comparing them with those in Switzerland. While my thoughts were occupied with your researches on the Pacific Coast I had handed to me your letter of August 9th, and very much to my gratification.
In regard to that Calaveras skull Prof. Dana wrote to me that their ethnologist (I can't call his name) says it doesn't belong to the Post Pliocene age. Prof. Whitney has …
