Sacramento Jany 10th 1881

My Dear Mr. Muir,

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

GEOLOGICAL FORMATION OF THE COUNTRY. Geology of the County. This county has never had a scientific geological survey and our information is rather restricted except for the mountain ranges and mining regions.

The foothills also bear …

After the train started her from us – the little baby died, It cried very hard for a while but we saw nothing alarming until a few minutes before it died. Really I was some alarmed as soon as I saw it, but J. said it had had several such crying times and soon quieted. I thought she knew best [deleted: and] as I had …

I read Joanna’s letter lately received from you and saw your little glacial sketch. Willis wrote to you since we received your June letter but perhaps you failed to get it, as you have not answered. We shall hope to hear from your ere very long. Hoping you are well, I remain lovingly

It is with great regret that I find myself obliged to give up my proposed visit to you. When you come to travel with Mrs. M. I am much mistaken if you don’t find it requires much more power to get up an equal moment[illegible], such as is required for packing, getting bonnets safely stowed etc. Mrs. D. must start East with me, and my own [illegible] being disposed of. I have now to look after hers consequently can’t move. We leave for the East (via Stockton) train of …

the greater number would have omitted the “roughing”, which is the spirit of it, as only thus can the loveliest be seen. They spoke warmly of you, & rehearsed your sayings and doings until it seemed almost as if you were present. That grand illumination you gave us of the Silver firs, was admired to even your heart’s content, if Dr Gray did teaze you about it at the time! I received a precious little package of flowers from E. O. Pelton, Brownsville Yuba Co, a few days since. So some of the flowers were those promised me by …

Her father had died abroad, and her mother and sister returned to find that the estate had melted away in the settlement, and now they were taking scholars. Neil seemed to understand their position, but any intellectual employment distressed her since her illness; so, with the influence of her father's friends, she had taken up her present occupation. She clung to our little house as her home, and they rented two of the sunniest rooms for …
