Alhambra, August 23, 1880.

Dear Louie;

I am back in my old quarters, and how familiar it all seems -- the lovely water, the islands, the Indians with their baskets and blankets and berries, the jet ravens prying and flying here and there, and the bland,dreamy, hushed air drooping and brooding kindly over all.

I'm now about as far from you as I will be this year---only this wee sail to the North and then to thee, my lassie. And I'm not away at all you know, for only they who do not love may ever be apart. There is no true separation for those whose hearts and souls are together. So much for love and philosophy. And now I must trace you my way since leaving Nanaimo.

I sit down as I am just on the eve of going to town (3 miles) to say to you a few days since I was at a neighbor's house, Mr. Eddy (President of one of our banks).

Friend Muir: — I saw Cornwall just now He says we can leave on the steamer of the 30th for Victoria & catch the California there He makes the Cala wait at Victoria until the steamer from here gets up to Victoria. So that suits me exactly. I told him I had arranged to go up with you, & he said he would treat us well, but he strongly advised me not to go, after the accident. He has been up on the Puget Sound coast

HEART OF THE CALIFORNIA ALPS. 345 and, in the guise of the republican prince, he announces his own allegiance to the republic. Singular as it may seem, his popularity in Norway lias suffered severely by his refusal to believe in a personal devil. His political heterodoxy lias long been tolerated, and he has had innumerable partisans, always ready to shout for him and to raise him y upon their shoulders; but his disrespect for Satan has frightened the majority of these away, and the petty persecution of the reactionary press and the official Philistines has made his life at home …
