Dear uncle John,_

Many thanks for your kind wishes for us girls and for what you said about books for "New Year." We have not got the books yet. thinking us would prize them yet more highly if you selected them for us your- self when you come this summer.

We hope nothing will prevent your making this long talked of visit and that you'll bring aunt Louie and Wanda. We are very fond of little folks here and I'm sure we should much enjoy little Wanda's company. She will be about tyhe size that …

Santa Barbara, March 16, '85.

Dear friend Muir:

You may be disappointed to find this old octogenarian plus three again in Cal. It is even so for a short time. I came here in Dec. On my way I called at our old friends Dr. and Mrs. Carr. They have a lovely home -- like themselves. I remained with them one night. When I left she spoke of you and yours, especially the little girl, with much affection. You may wonder why I trouble your eyes with my scribbles. I'll tell you. I met with the Natural History Soc. in …

Dear Brother John.

I suppose while we are still shivering amind the frost and snow you are enjoying the blossoms and the [warmer?] sun- shine. we have had an extremely cold winter, the worst I can rem- ember and I have many times been glad that you decided to put off your visit until the summer for we that are accustomed to cold weather could hardly endure it, and besides Louie and Wanda may be able to come with you now.

Yosemite March 11th 1885 Mr. John Muir Esq. Dear Sire

I learned from Mr. Stegman the express agent here, that the box of things, which I sent the next day after you left Yosemite, was delayed some where enroute and I suppose that all the living plants and [shanks?] must have died from want of attention. Now if I can be of any service to you in assisting to get you more this season, I shall be glad to do so. Please write me and let me know what you would like and I …

Father's health has been very good all winter; but he is quite feble. and keeps his bed constantly. he has not been down stairs since the 3rd of last September.

He is very happy, however and says he believes him self to be the happiest man living.

Dear Brother John:

As Willis is writing to Annie I will send you a few lines. I send you my photo, which I hope you will like. I also send a photo of our house. It is not of much account, but as you did not come here last summer you may like to look at it. The photographers work has been imperfect and it is spotted. Doubtless you will be looking some for "Father's picture." I hope to send it ere very long, and I know I can improve on what you saw. I …
