Keep out of the way, so as not to inflict my- self on anybody. I doubt whether I shall ever over come it. The fact is Friend Muir I have been so unmercifully snubled through life, on account of my lameness that I feel it [illegible] to my [underlined: manhood] to put up with it. And although lonesomeness is terrific on a sociable dis- position like mine, it is no disgrace for me to retreat be- fore such unjust, and over- whelming odds. Go on, Dear friend, and “May Heaven help you” to describe the wonders of your travels, …

Portage, Oct. 20th, 1878.

Dear John,

I hope this will find you well. It seems a long time since I have had a letter from you. Perhaps there is one on the way for me now. I am delighted with the bouquet from the banks of Loch Lomond - how very kind of your friend to send it to you.
We have also had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Calvin Hewitt. He told us he had been in Cal. and had met you in the Mariposa grove, and he gave me two very large cones, and two small …

My dear Mr. Luir:

I had rather expected to write you to-day that we could be in Oakland in Oakland in about a week, but The Fates have willed it otherwise, and we leave our home tomorrow for New York, where we shall take steamer for Europe on the 23rd to be gone till we are ready to come home, six months or two years. Of course we are all glad that father has found courage enough to cross the water, and as none of the family have been before except father and self, they are in …

Dear Doctor, Your kind letter of the 8th [illegible] reached me yesterday. having been forwarded from Hamilton This is a little three year old mining town where we are making a few days halt to transact some business & rest the wary animals.

I have a great horror of sleeping upon any trodden ground near human settlements not to say amoniacal pens but the captn had his blankets …

safety and your companions also preserved. I hope nothing in your experiences will ever again approach it. I am just a little distrustful. Before coming to Berkshire I passed five weeks among relatives in N.W. Pennsylvania. There I rejoiced in beautiful views – long drives and rambles, and many days on beautiful sheets of water. Nothing do I see that delights me but a little shadow that’s over me with the thought “how our little party of last summer would enjoy this. Heart, mind, and body, have been repressed. it is time almost I was turning home-ward, but from …

Dear Strentzels.

All goes well in camp [ some?] that [ bag?] of grapes you so kindly sent. I telegraphed for it on arriving at this place to be sent by Wells Fargo but it has not come & we leave here tomorrow. We had hoped to have been in Eureka by the middle of last month but the unknown factors so abundant in our work have pushed us so far southward we will not now be likely to go there at all. Nevertheless I have enjoyed your kindness even in this lost grape expression …

in those four days we went to Big Meadows & Butt Valley, and collected lovely flowers. Took my press and portfolio. Gathering flowers is very fascinating but the pressing is trying. Dr Gray says I “send noble specimens”. Is not that encouraging? In the last lot, sent recently, I have some things which I think precious, but Dr Gray’s report will prove. One beauty I found on our “summit”. You remember the “Summit” of the Mountain [illegible]ad, where we get the grand view of “Lassen” & the chasm beneath us? General is so interested in the collection of plants …

Dear Friend,

We are very thankful for your kind letters, the more so as they prove that you have not forgotten us, and that you continue safe and well amid all the dangers of that wild country. It is a great relief to hear that the Indians are not likely to be troublesome much longer, yesterday’s paper reports the surrender of a large number of them. Your vivid description of the 40 mile desert seems to [illegible] it all directly before me, and I can imagine just how you felt during your dreary die, for …
