My dear Far-away Brother,

Did you not receive any of my last letters. I judge not , as I have rec’d no answer from you. Perhaps you did not know where to find me. If so, here I am up among the pine woods and stumps, in Phillips. Write to me soon and I will then write you another long letter, seasoned thoroughly this time with the “P[illegible]” We were all delighted as well as relieved to hear from you again after your long silence. Glad to know that your rather hazardous trip had proved both a success …

Mr J[n?] Muir, My dear Sir:

After leaving you I made close connections at Port Costa. In fact the “overland” was already in & ready to pass on the ferry boat. from there I reached home safely with the exception of having my umbrella suddenly [demoralized?] when getting out of the horse-car in Sacramento. While on the cars I had a good opportunity in the [illegible] storm to think of you & my own short-comings. I don’t believe I thanked you or expressed my admiration for the way you put me through from Alhambra to …

Dear Mr. Muir:

I ought to have written a formal acknowledgment to you and your wife of the receipt of that precious little package, so significant in its contents, and for which I was truly grateful.
It found me confined to bed, so that I was not able to immediately reply, and having guests at that time and for some days after I have deferred expressing my congratulations from necessity. I think my former excellent health is returning to me, for yesterday and to-day I have accomplished great things.
This morning I had to take our pastor to …

Dear Sir

The package of plants kindly sent by yourself arrived safely this morning via New York. Why it went way around that way is a mystery to me.

So can not see how you can be happy so far away from human care & sympathy, except the little fellow must always be singing “Are ye not of more value than many sparrows?” All you say of him is a sermon on that text. I must tell you, if only to make you smile, how much sympathy I wasted on you. Somehow I thought you had no friends nor companions but glaciers & icebergs & birds & bears & ever-greens, & that you had no mother to wear out her anxious heart about you, & all that, …

Your letter of Tuesday did not reach me until last night, when I made search and found the precious notebooks, to our astonishment! for I asked you just before we left if you had them.
