Mr. John Muir San Francisco, Cal My dear Sir:

It gave me pleasure to receive your letter introducing Mr. M. [ Keloey?] – and I went with him personally to see about his project introducing him to several of our scientific men here. It has been several days since I saw him last and I do not know what he decided upon. The last call he made he was talking of taking the “[illegible] King” directly through to New York City. It was with [illegible]siderable …

I am moreover recoverring some of my forgotten knowledge of Botany, M. does the reading and I follow along as well as I can.

San Jose, May 31, 1879,

My dear Mr. Muir:

Your note was duly received last Wednesday evening -many thanks for your interest in my affairs.
We are chiefly occupying ourselves today trying to keep cool, the hot wave has reached us at last, and we are slowly, sizzling. Papa has gone to Placerville. We expect him home tonight. The rest of us are enjoying moderately good health. Miss Webster charges me to tell you that she will be in the city next Tuesday, at 600 Sutter, and hopes to see you soon thereafter, to fulfill your promise.
I hope Miss …

Rancho Chico, May 17th, 1879.

Dear Mr. Muir:

Your favor in reply to the flowers sent from Canyon was duly received, and now I will explain how I happened to reply to your letter by these silent messengers. I wrote you at that time, intending to enclose a few flowers, but after depositing the few specimens in cotton and envelope, I concluded to look over my letter, and when that was done I said to myself,'this is on too high a key. Mr. Muir will think I am trying to tantalize him, or if he does not think that, he …

Dear Mrs Bidwell.

Your bonnie telling bunch of bloom is here, & how gladly I would seek the fields where it came you must know, But alack!! work, work, work, holds me here. How beautiful the fields, & plains, & fence corners, about Chico must be. I have been hoping all through the winter that I should be with you in bloom-time for at least a week. Now summer is coming on, & my chances to see Chico this year seem to be growing less. I may probably go into the Sierra …

I enclose at last the name of the big orange book. Either Paqot & Co or [illegible] & Co. will import it for Mr Crann at the price pen named – for less if intended for the Library.

Alack Alack! Miss Strentzel the big bouquet is dying, dying, dying, & so are the roses. We all do fade as a leaf, fade as a bouquet on a batchelors table. But in the midst of these withered & withering images it is cheering to know that the memory of gifts so pure & good endureth forever. On the evening of its arrival I carried all the bloom- en mass along the hall to the parlor to show it to the family, & all the way was strewn with the rosy [snowy?] …

San Francisco, Apr 18th 1879.

Dear Miss Strentzel

I failed to see you on Tuesday night, the absurd old black horse having for once been on time. Everybody, according to the eternal unfitness of civilized things, has been seeking for me & calling on me while I was away. John Swett on his second failure to find me left word with Mr Upham that he was coming up to Martinez to see me some time during the summer vacation!! The other day I chanced to find in my pocket that slippery fuzzy mesh you wear round your neck. The …
