Dear Sir
I am glad that you found my paper on the glaciation of the Outer Hebrides of interest. I quite agree with you that so many details as I find are not needed to convince any one who is conversant with the mode of glacial action that these is lands have been glaciated from the South east. But the prejudices if I may be allowed to use so hard a word of English geologists in favour of icebergs are hard to overcome, and one can only hope to do so by piling up the …

Dear Mrs Carr.
Yesterday I sent you by mail five dollars worth of tree seeds, according to directions. They seemed fresh, & I was assured they were so. Hope they may grow as well as they can for you, & at least hint the beauty of their homes & their fathers. I have been strongly tempted to make another visit to southern Cala, but have concluded the season is too far gone. Your letter lay at John Swetts some time, so the seeds may not reach you in time though I …

My dear Mr. Muir:
As I have owed you a letter since yours from Nevada was received, it is my purpose to avail myself of my privilege, and at the same time relieve my mind of an uncomfortable burden which has oppressed me ever since your last call on me in San Francisco.
In the first place I am seldom sufficiently warm when in that city, and on the day referred to my feet were so cold that they ached, and I concluded that inelegant as it was I would move to the …

Dear Doctor.
Your letter & pippins are here. You must have been quite sick, though you write so lightly of blues & testaments & Scotch brose. I am glad you are well again, & hope that the coming spring sunshine will remove all trace of your lung difficulty. My blues were nothing worth mentioning, only a dull unfruitful endurance of nothing in particular-a sort of religious desperation about metropolitan homes, that suggest heavens by way of opposites. I too am better, & the bees hum however indistinctly. Bee-lands,

Alhambra, February 2, 1879.
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 and testaments, but after a patient trial of the hygienic 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 of that smoky conglomeration of dwelling boxes with its facilities of drug-shops and doctors is quite another thing. So I say a poor …

THE GLACIER MEADOWS OF THE SIERRA. ' i IMPRESSIONS OF LONG ISLAND. A soft choir joined from the other musicians at the triumphal refrain : " Hosanna ! Glory to God! Blessed is he who comes bearing Salvation ! " It was music's invocation to those heathen proteges of Christianity whom Columbus found on our shores, and who have never since been perfectly at one with our religion. Its significance was perfectly felt by the listener, and melody, by its own eloquence, was acting as no mean missionary. Few Christian churches, we fancy, have heard the song sung with such …

It came while I was away in the Great Basin, so that I received it only a few days ago. The explanation you present of the rarity of East Asiatic types in America, west of the prairie region, is most interesting and I would like to offer you here a few facts bearing upon the question, gleaned in the Great Basin between the Sierra Nevada and the Wasatch mountains …
