Dear Miss [Shin?]

I am lost & choked in agricultural needs & am almost beyond the memory even of literary work so that much as I should like to give you the article you want I am not able or nearly able to do so. Work is coming upon me from near & far & at present I cannot see how I am to escape its degrading [illegible] effects. Get some one to write an article on the [vice?] of over-industry, it is greatly needed in these times of horticultural storms. Ever yrs truly John Muir. …

Crete, Neb, March 28th/83

Dear brother and Sister

You will have received my last card, written the day Maggie and I arrived in Lincoln, We were not very much fatigued, and on feeling nicely rested, indeed the journey proved very pleasant, everything going smoothly with the exception of our being detained about four hours, by the breaking of a wheel, and so throwing one of the trucks partly off the track, the engine went on to Green River, for a wheel, and help, and we were able to start again sooner than we expected. This made us somewhat nervous …

Mr. Muir,

Dear friend:

I received your very kind note and I hope that you will excuse me for not answering it before. But to tell you the truth I have not had a minutes time to do anything in that line since I received it. I can assure you my dear friend that I appreciate your invitation vey much. When I think of the very pleasant visit I had last year, it makes me feel bad to tell you that I cannot accept it.

Kilisnoo, near Sitka, Alaska,

February 19th, 1883.

My dear Mr. Muir,

Your long-looked for and very kind and welcome letter of December 3d reached me too late to reply by last steamer, it having been delayed in the Sitka Postoffice. We were very glad indeed to hear from you again. When the "Corwin" was here several of her officers called on us, among them Mr. Doty, who spoke of your trip to the Arctic on the "Corwin" and of the officers calling on you at your home in Martinez. We were very greatly entertained by him in conversation descriptive of …

Dear friend Emily,

I once more wish you a happy New Year. About the 20th I think since the first New Year wish in the Mondell House; and many a change has taken place in these 20 years for both of us.
I have not heard from you since I left California for the Polar regions, but fancy you may yet be at Brownsville or thereabouts. I hope your summers work in school did not weary you so much as to injuriously affect your health. When are you ever going to pay us a …

Dates, pine apples, bananas, and custard apples may be successfully, if not profitably, grown without artificial heat, in glass houses, or in cheaper structures of lath and cotton cloth.
