1419 Taylor St. San Francisco; May 5th, 1878.

Dear Strentzels,

I got slowly & safely back, in time to see the Swetts off for Shasta. A boat arrived at the Martinez wharf just as the Doctor got me down. I went aboard, but was turned back by a guardian angel, in the form of a black whickered [ man?] who informed me in time that his boat went to Sacramento. The right craft came at 5 o’clock. Helen left this morning, & the house is in everyway most [illegible]fully dull, & I wont stay in it, will go into the …

Dear Friend.

Many thanks for the photograph, and also for the gem of [ word-?] -painting of the ouzel. We were very sorry to hear of your unpleasant experience of a slow steamboat, but we now think that the railroad will soon be finished with the cars coming through by the last of May. We learn that the construction trains are now running regularly every day, both below and above the obstructed tunnel. Our whole time during the past

Dear Mr. Muir:

It was very good of you to send us your shadow. We shall prize it, I assure you. Hattie has appropriated it, and places it on the music rack while she practices. Hope it will infuse some of your perseverance into her. She is writing to you, with no one to prompt her in her effort-be so good as to imagine interesting matter of that which is beyond your "ken."
Annie Chamberlain said, as she looked at the photo - "how I do wish I had one." Can't you please her as …

My dear Muir:

I was so sorry to leave San Francisco without seeing you again, but the last few days were such busy ones that I had some difficulty in getting through all my business. The ship company kindly delayed the departure of the steamer for three hours so as to enable me to get the Fort Yuma mail, as 1 expected Kerr's letter. Kerr himself got out of -the fray unhurt, but had one of his men killed and another wounded - the whole loss amounted to $8500. The Apaches attacked them about …

Dear Mrs Bidwell.

I have just returned from a weeks weathering at Lake Tahoe, where I have had a fine reviving roll in the snow, and swim in the crystal water, besides a good deal of fresh lusty exercise on snow shoes on the mountain slopes to the west of the lake, and between Tahoe City and Truckee.

The winter beauty of the woods and mountains is fairly enchanting, and it was seen under all kinds of light, from the full white glow of clear noonday sunshine to the gray …
