Marysville, April 85, '77.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. McChesney:
Ever since my return from Oakland I have been thanking you and all the other precious friends who lightened our grievous burden with their loving kindness, but "my days go on" into profounder grief as the loss of our son sinks deeper into our consciousness. The blow was too sudden, too appalling, and needlessly made too cruel to be realized. He was so much a blessing to us - so bright, sweet and faithful, that we had unconsciously leaned upon him. His …

To thee I give & bequest this old gray quill with which I have written every word of my first book, knowing as I do your predele[illegible]tion for curiosities. I can hardly remember its origin, but I think it is one that I picked up on the Mountains, fallen from the wing of a gray Eagle; but possibly it may be only a pinion feather of some tame old gray goose, & my love of truth compels me to make this unpoetical statement. The book that has flower from …

William Trout,
Dear friend I read your last so full of the exposition at Philadelphia with a great deal of interest. The impressions that a fresh mind like yours receives are always infinitely more valuable than those of the regular skilled reporter, at least to me who always values realities alone. I feel sad at times when I think of the repression and sequestration of a life like yours, so much real power and originality held down far below the possibilities of perfect development, by force of repressive circumstances. …

Your last letter seemed so different from you and your other ones, that I am inclined to think that city life has changed you somewhat. You seem more interested in those about you, in people …

It has been such a long time since I received your good and kind letter that I am now almost ashamed to write an answer to it. And yet, although I have not answered it before this, the reason is not because I never thought about you. And I hardly think that it would be wisdom for me to try and excuse myself by hiding behind the refuge of no time. For I think that your answer would be that I might have so redeemed the time as to have …

Yosemite Valley, August 20, 1870. Considering the remoteiiess and irregularity of the many fountains and pathways of the Ycsesnite travel-stream, its flow has been remarkably constant. But this year the greater portion of its current seems to have been absorbed by the Centennial, as if it had fallen into a spongy bog or sandbed ; a condition of things peihaps pardonable once a century, notwithstanding nature's incomparable exposition la this, her grandest mountain tabernacle. Only about one half, or at most two-thirds of the usual n amber of regular tourists have visited the valley this year ; but ou the …
