[1] Sept 9, 1879


Dear John,

Sending a letter to you under present conditions seems little more certain than intrusting a message to a wild forest bird: yet I can only try, that you may know I still exist, and that I keep you ever in remembrance. You must think it strange to have heard no word from us during these two long months, but just now a letter came from the Postmaster at Port Townsend saying that my note directing him to remail …

On tributary of Thibert Creek,Aug. 19 [1879].Dear Louie:I have at last been blest by the good lord in being allowed to taste of this wild and beautiful Northland away back at the fountains of the rivers. The waters here flow into the Arctic Ocean. This stream is a tributary of the great Mackenzie. There is a mountain, the highest hereabouts, which I will climb early tomorrow. The view is said by the Frenchman in whose little hut I am sheltered to be very extensive.I wish you could see him. He is an old voyageur of the Hudson Bay Co. We …

Mother was very unwell all during the month of July. She was not able to ride, or to take any care of household affairs for over five weeks, and we often felt very anxious about her – but this week she is improving rapidly has taken two short rides, and begins to look quite like herself again. Of course I could not leave to visit San Francisco; and what with a new Celestial cook; and many friends calling to see mamma, and others to see the century plant, and a few to stay awhile; I have sometimes felt just …

Alhambra 8/2 79.

Friend Muir,

Since you left us, I too have had my share of “the blues” of the deepest dye, my mind running upon last wills & testaments [illegible]- but after a patient trial of the hygienie agency of calorie with liberal doses of oat brose for sustenance, the overburdened lungs have resumed their normal action so far as their abnormal state will permit. How I might have fared if left down in the midst

Sitka Alaska
July I6th 1879.

Dear Mrs Bidwell.

This is a charming portion of Gods lovely world, such a wondrous composition of land and water- still glassy bays and inlets islands and mountains. The voyage all the way up from Victoria is through the most wonderful system of ocean inlets straits reaches and channels imaginable. It was difficult to realize that we were on salt water at all- we seemed to be sailing on a deep winding river abounding in lovely mountain scenery, snow and ice on the summits dense forests from the snow line down to the …

Sitka July 15th 1879

Dear Friends three

The glacial, botanical, & general landscape developments are on the grandest & most telling scale imaginable not only here but all the way up from Puget Sound. With the exception of a few hours sail in two or three places open to the ocean on one side the whole voyage has been in a narrow river-like channel mostly between bold impressive mountains very densely tree clad down to the waters edge cascades pouring down on either side from the snowy summits. It was hard to believe that we were sailing on …

00858 Victoria B.C. Thursday morning July 10

Dear Louie Strentzel,

Here, yet once more in my crooked way lies the glassy glaciated rock bound lake-like harbor of Victoria. We have just made fast to the dock. The town is founded on the best glacier-tested glacier-elected rocks & is the capital of B.C. it has I believe about 6,000 inhabitants & is of more telling glacial interest than any other town I have seen on the continent of N.A. How green & fresh the ferns & trees are on the patches of Moraine-soil [deleted: beneath] between the upswelling rock- -bosses ——— …

Steamship California, On the Columbia, a few miles below Astoria, July 9th 1879.

Dear friends three,

Your bottles & letters, one from Louie & one from the Doctor were received at Seattle two days ago, the whole sinking or raising me more & more irredeemably in debt. I am on my way to Alaska, will go as far as Sitka to obtain general views of the Coast & as much of the interior as good & safe opportunities chance to offer.

sight must be always everything that is yours. So I persuaded Papa to go with me to San Francisco, Monday morning, and Mr. Upham said he was “very glad of our coming for those plants on account of the mice being trouble- some in that closet!” He also sent out a large box for keeping the books and magazines that were left. While moving the pamphlets from the bureau, the first thing I found was that veritable Sequoia letter, which I promptly confiscated; and deeming it undesirable for strangers to read them, I made search for all letters and …
