scold anybody, since we came, not even Josephus!

Wanda is very well, and enjoys learning about the orchard with Grandpa, but in the house she gestows her attention mainly upon Grandma who seems to e, as she promised, getting well becaus of having the baby near her.

Wanda has just finished her own little letter with a needle, all by herself, and says "Tell dear papa to hold it up against the light and read how many, many little kisses his own baby sends to him." O papa, if you knew how much she thinks and talks of you! …

Mammoth Springs,YellowstonePark, Aug.20,1885. 9 A.M.Dear Louie,I hope you are all well. I suppose I shall not hear from you until I reach Portage,--nothing at Portland. I reached the Park last evening, two days from Portland, [I] saw some interesting country about about Prend Oreille and through the greater portion of Montana, and now this strange region of fire and water, [I] mean to set on horseback this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Sorry I can stay so short a time. Afraid I will not learn much, still I may get some good facts besides the mere pleasurable mass of wonderment from …

Portland, Aug. 15,[1885],
12 M.

Dear Louie,

I mean to leave for home today at 3 o'clock P.M. I am feeling pretty well, stomach all right today.
I have just seen John Muir and had a long chat with him in his private office. He is a remarkably interesting man -- all of that name are. He wanted me to go out to his house and stay a day or two, but of course that would be too much of J. M. at present. He provided me with a half fare ticket to St. Paul, and return, via Kansas City, …

Portland, Oregon, Aug. 14, 1885.Dear Louie,I hope you are all well and that the work I left is not giving you undue trouble. I suppose Wanda is having a glad good time tramping and walking with her grandfather. I was one day at Sissons and arrived here this afternoon at 4:30. Walked out to Dr. Lindsey's but found nobody at home, Mr. and Mrs. gone east, the girls scattered, etc. Also called on Mr. Alisky, whom I knew when here last, [I] found that he had gone to Europe. Then went to the office of Dr. Chance and found his …

Sissons Station,
Wednesday. [Aug.12, 1885]
3 P.M.

Dear Louie,

Here is snowy Shasta once more and how fresh and inspiring and immortal it seems. Not even my first view impressed me so much. I saw its icy sculptured summit looming above the sugarpine woods this morning at half past four, just before reaching Sissons. We reached Delta at 7:40, and took the stage at 8 o'clock and bumped and rumbled all night. Yet I stood the trip well and had but little pain of any kind. [I went] to bed and get a half hour's sleep; could not sleep longer …

Alameda, Tuesday morning [Aug! 1885]
5:30 o'clock.

Dear Louie,

I came to Alameda last evening and stayed with the Doctor. I am writing in his den downstairs before any of the family is stirring. The Doctor is to drive me to the station (16th St.) -- he insists on being allowed to take the trouble. I am sorry that I had to leave you all in a hurry on account of Denny, and I now bid you all goodbye in this morning calm.
[I] awoke to the day's duties at three o'clock this morning. Ten thousand cocks crowed ten hours …

August ---- 1885
6 A.M.

John:

0, my beloved husband, why do you strive against the guidance of your good angel that would lead you in the dear Lord's ways, where there is rest and peace. Our hearts are aching with the thought of your poor tired body being dragged away from the velvety meadows and cool balmy woods, far through the dusty sagebrush to a country of sultry nights and sunstruck day s and cyclone!
Even your mother and sisters would understand. My father and mother at last realize your need of the mountains! Then, as for the old …

Santa Barbara, July 17, '85.

My dear friend Muir,

I drop you this note merely to learn of your whereabouts,--whether at home with your better half snugly tied up for the winter. If I don't hear from you I shall expect you are frozen up at Alaska. I think I shall return East in the spring. If I could know that you were within hailing distance I would be on your track and meet you, somewhere, before I left for "the States". I am quite well at present and anxious to climb these mts. The old man can't do it. …

Have you not found a man you can make a foreman of yet? I hope you will be able to tell us very soon that you have, and that you can start on such a day.
Tell Wanda that I received her picture and thank her for it, and was glad to get it, if it is a poor picture. But am sorry you did not happen to get a good one. It does not begin to do her justice. I hope that this will find you all well. I am …

Dear Mr. Muir,

If nothing else comes of my camping air castle, I have had at least one pleasure from it -- your kind and delightful letter. I have read it so many times I half know it. I wish Mrs. Carr were here that I might triumph over her. She wrote me that I might "as well ask one of the angels of Heaven, as John Muir" "so entirely out of his line" was the thing I proposed to do. I knew better, however, and …
