Austin Nevada, Aug’ 5th, 1878.

Dear Doctor Your kind note of the 22th was received the other day & your discussion of [fruits?] & the f[illegible]ness in general of civilized things takes me at some little disadvantage. From “the Switch” we rode to the old f[illegible] Churchhill on the Carson & at the “Upper” lower end of Mason Valley was delighted to find the [illegible] Outlet of Walker lake down through a very picturesque Canon to its Confluence with the Carson. it appears therefore that not only the Humboldt & Carson but the Walker River also poured its waters into …

West Walker River Near Wellingtons Station, July 11th 1878 –

Dear Strentzels. We are now fairly free in the sunny basin of the grand old sea that stretched from the Wasatch to the Sierra.

[ Genoa?] Nevada. July 6th 1878.

Dear Strentzels,

We rode our horses from Sacramento to this little village [ near?] Placerville & Lake Tahoe. The plains & foothills were terribly hot, the Upper Sierra along the South fork of the American River cool & picturesque, & the Lake region almost cold. Spent three delightful days at the lake – steamed around it, & visited Cascade lake a mile beyond the western shore of Tahoe. We are now making up our train [ roads?] to push off into the great Basin. Am well mounted, & with the fine brave old …

Dear Mrs Strentzel;

Your kind note has just came to hand, I appreciate your motherly care, but what can a body do?

The war country lies to the north of our line of work some two or three hundred miles. Some of the Pah Utes have gone with to join the B[illegible] & those left behind are not to be trusted, but we will be well armed, & …

[in margin: 805] 00797 Alhambra June 18th, 1878.Dear Friend. I suppose you are now preparing to leave for your long summer journey over the mountains and the desert. But why do you go away and risk your life among those murderous Indians when you might just as well remain at home in peace and comfort with your many friends. At least wait awhile until there is good prospect of the war troubles being ended.

You were very kind to send the specimens – they are giving me much pleasure.
