Your recent communication would have received an immediate acknowledgment, had I not been too much occupied With friends from San Francisco to write.
We do most heartily sympathize with you in your present joy, and trust that no cloud shall arise to cost a shadow on it. Some day we hope to have the pleasure of an acquaintance with your little one and her mother; and trust, when you can do so, that you will bring them to Rancho Chico.
After all, have you not found there is some happiness in this …

My Dear Friend;

Your consolatory(?) letter dated Feb. 22. 1881. came safely by this str. There has been at least one of your letters miscarried as you say sent [one?] acknowledging the receipt of the box. That did not come to hand. I am afraid Hughes left you to pay the freight. I directed him to prepay & hand me the bill. I don’t want to treat you as some of our brethren have treated us – sending boxes of old worn out clothing & shoes &c worth a dollar or two to the …

Brownsville, Yuba Co., Cal.,

Feb. 26th, 1881.

Dear brother John,

Are you wondering what has become of your mountain friends and if they are washed down onto the plains? Maybe you have been looking for some of us to float past on our way to the sea. Brownsville has kept its head out of water some of the time, though it gets a washing now and then. Just think what a big one it got that Thursday before the high water on the plains. I never saw so much water here as on that day. No doubt you are wondering …

My dear Mr. Muir:

Are you In San Fran. or in Alaska! I wonder, and do you ever think of your worldly friends, away up there among your ice mountains. It is a long time since we have heard from you, and a longer still since you have had word of us, I fancy, and still we are all the same, a little older possibly, and a little wiser? Perhaps. I have been talking of you of late a good deal, and the other day got out your letters and read them to a lady staying with …
