My dear Mr. Muir:

I was greatly delighted a few weeks ago by the coming of your friendly letter of the end Of July; and if 1 have not already thanked you for it, that is on account of some illness of ay sister which has prevented me from acknowledging with my usual promptness the favor received.
The recollection of the good times enjoyed together at friend Payot's in the modern "city of the hills" is carefully kept as vivid in my mind as it was five years ago at the time when I left the newest …

Dear Mr Muir

Your picture and poem in fruit and vine filled us all with delight. It was pleasant to know you had not forgotten your Oakland friends though we had no word from you in so long. The pleasure of knowing your wife and little one seems denied us while you are living so far away but do try sometime to have them come to Oakland if only for a little time for I do not think they would object to its “sticky skies” as much as you do How I …
