Yosemite Valley June 7th 1873

Dear friend Mr Carr,

I came down last night from the Lyell Glacier weary with walking in the snow but I forgot my weariness & the pain of my sun blistered face in the news of your coming I would like you to bring me a pair or two of green spectacles to save my eyes, as I have some weeks of hard work & exposure among the glaciers this fall, They are sore with my last journey. All of the upper mtns are yet deeply snow clad & the river from the top of …

Yosemite Valley May 26th 1873

Dear sister Sarah

I have just time to say that I hope you all are happy & that I hope to escape from all these rocks & glaciers in after years so that I may rest amogst you. Yet I love the mountains with a stronger love every year. I have some weeks of difficult work among glaciers that I discovered last year but will not commence it for a month or so until the deepest snow melts. I hope sometime this season to make an excursion along the range north & south to lake …

Oshkosh Wis. May 24- 1873

Dear Sir

I enclose you a few seed from the great Cypress tree growing about the Castle of Chepultepec, two miles from the City of Mexico. The largest of these is thirteen feet in diameter and its branches droop as gracefully as the elm. Chepultepec was the favorite resort of the Emperor Montezuma and he doubtless many a time reposed under these grand old trees. Seed should be planted in the mellow ground of the garden, where they will have moisture and not be exposed to the mid-day sun. Respectfully Rufus B. Kellogg

Dear Mrs Carr, The robins have eaten too much breakfast this morning & there is a grossness in their throats that will require a good deal of sunshine for its cure. The leaves of many of the plants are badly disarranged showing that they have had a poor nights sleep The reason of all this trouble is a snow storm that overloaded the flowers & benumbed the butterflies upon wh the birds have breakfasted too heartily The grand Upper Yo Sem’ fall is at this moment (7.

Dear Father.

Enclosed you will find Mr. Clark's letter. You ought to preserve it out of respect to the man who so greatly admires you. You call him "head of [underlined: East Hampton] which is said to beat both Exeter and even Andover". Now I hap- pen to know that the principal of Williston Seminary, the school at East Hampton, is Dr. Marshall Uenshaw and, as your friend dates his letter "North Hampton Mass.", I take it that you accidentally miscall his residence and that he has charge of some school …
