Portage, Wisconsin,

Box 356, Feb, 21, 1882.

Dear John,

I gladly received your letter of January 2d telling us of your welfare, also of your family and home. From what you write I think you are preparing to stay more at home than you have done heretofore, and I am glad of it. I trust your little girl will be spared to be ever a joy and happiness to you all.
Your father came home about Christmas and stayed until Joanna and Walter [Brown] came, to make us a visit on their way South, and when they left he accompanied …

San Francisco, Feb. 12, 1882.

Dear Friend Muir:

My motive in writing to you was simply for you to have the credit of urging that Bill of 47th Congress, 1st Session, S 363 & S 463 to completion, and the revision of the Boundaries. I did not propose to write to Senator Miller at all myself, and it does matter who does this. You have done more than anyone, etc., etc.It's no use to dwell on these points. There is such a thing as justice. Now all flattery to the dogs, I say you …

Dear Mr Muir:

May I not put you down for a lecture on Glacial action in Cal. or such other wording as you may choose, or such other subject as you may choose, for March 8. and a lecture on Alaska for March 15? I wish to get the time filled as for ahead as possible lest I find myself short of speakers. If you can come at wither of the dates mentioned or at both dates be kind enough to let me know, and also the wording of your subject or subjects.

Very truly yours …

Dear Friend Muir:

Your idea is good -- nay glorious! (just like you), but excuse me if I do not come up with my finger in my mouth. I've been running hither and thither to find a map of Tulare Co - hitherto find none. Now the only way to speak definitely is to write to the Co. Clerk of Tulare and get a tracing -- probably at the cost of 2 to 5 dollars. Then we can jot the boundaries to purpose. Must ascertain what name to address and go for …

Dear Mr. Muir:

Last summer, during your absence in polar regions, I received a note from Genl. Alvord, a friend of Prof. Butler's, asking me to forward you the enclosed "slip," as he could not ascertain your address in the East.I sent, in reply, your parting note to us, asking Genl. Alvord to forward it to Prof. Butler, as your address would thus be given him, and the news of your little daughter's advent.
Ever since, I have intended writing you, but postponed so doing, ever hoping for the leisure moment, which never will come. but …
