My Dear Mr. Muir,

My letter is on the same errand as Katie’s to introduce to you our friends Prof. Jordan and Charles Gilbert. Katie has perhaps given you an enthusiastic description of Prof. Jordan, at whose shrine we worship. A long time ago, when we were children, a certain young Scotchman one of the few who remain young, John Muir by name filled the place that is kept for heroes in …

I wrote you before a pleasant visit with Mrs. Upham, the time of the Grand receptions. I suppose the Cal. newspapers are sometimes seen in Alaska, so you probably know all you care for of the ways and interests of Californians. Papa says to tell you that our “Alhambra grapes are just now, most delicious but also, they are ripening and departing a la ‘tempus fugit’!” That is only too true,- though I …

O Friend Beloved, if ever the dear Lord leads you out from the depths of those blue glacier caves, and will let me once more look upon your face, that I may know you are not become only a white wraith of the northland – there will be no happier woman than I in all the wide world. Then I can rejoice with you in all the marvelous wonder and wildness with which your soul has been thrilled for the summer time of this new year. But now! remembering you

Dear Louie.

Your letter of Aug. 12th has just now reached me, forwarded from Port Townsend. It seems every summer my gains from Gods wilds grow greater. This last seems the greatest of all.

[Friend?] Muir,

The last rays of the setting sun are shinging in to our window at the Palace and perhaps it is the last sunset we shall ever see in this city of the Golden Gate. I could not think of leaving the Pacific Coast without saying good bye to you who so much love all the world about here. California you may say has made you, and you in return have made California and you are both richer for having made each …

about myself while I am just getting well in good earnest, and when you come home I expect you’ll laugh at me if I say I have ever been sick. Annie and I have been at Fort Sealle attending a convention, which also testifies to the truth of my statement, for you know I have been so nervious that I have not wanted to see even a little company, and there I met and visited with more friend than I can count, Trusting that you are very well and with much love, I close, Joanna.
