New Haven, July 8, 1872 [ ] Muir, Yosemite Valley, Cal. Dear Sir: I was very much interested by a letter of yours in the NY tribune last year […] the Yosemite. It […] my views and convictions exactly regarding the wonderful part glaciers have played in that truly remarkable region. I had traced the glaciation, as you have, into the side valleys. A short article of mine presented to the French Academy in 1867 may interest you, and I inclose [sic] a copy. Respectfully yours, W.P. Blake

Twenty Hill Hollow, John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

8o TWENTY HILL HOLLOW. [July, Mademoiselle Deligny remained but a Aveek in Brittany. She never recovered from her surprise at finding the Marquis de Bridal so changed; and life in one of these old castles was a very tiresome affair, she said to Louison; adding, by way of comfort: " Don't fret, Louison; we will return to Paris at once. Ah! we poor women are always disappointed, when we—follow the dictates of our hearts !" During the week of her stay, the Marquis never once raised his eyes. A month after her departure, Marion and Gilbert were married in the …

Saturday night.[July., 1872]

Dear John.

You know so well both how great and how rare the joy is of finding a voice for one's best thoughts and an answer to one's hardest questions -- that I need not tell you how I enjoyed Prof. Gray's visit to-day, nor how I wish you could take the spare seat in the carriage and go with us to enjoy a Sunday in the Redwoods. Isn't he the gloriousest old boy, and was it not good to find your tramping machine matched at last by one in equal running order? Dr. Henry Gibbons, one …

Rambles Of A Botanist Among The Plants And Climates Of California, John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

Horticulture, RAMBLES OF A BOTANIST AMONG THE PLANTS AND CLIMATES OF CALIFORNIA. With reference to biglrt-seeing on the Pacific coast, our so-called transcontinental railroad is a big gun; charged with steam and cars it belches many a tourist against the targets of the golden State, — geysers, big trees, Yosemite, &c, among which they hump and ricochet, and rebound to their Atlantic homes, bruised and blurred, their memories made up of a motley jam of cascades and deserts and mountain domes, each traveller voluntarily compacting himself into the fastest cartridge of car and coach, as if resolved to see, little …

Dear Mrs Carr. Yours announcing the Joaquin & the Doggetts & more is here I care not when you come so that you come calm & timeful. I will try to compel myself down to you in August but these years & ages among snows & rocks have made me far more unfit for the usages of civilization than you can appreciate.

Beatrice Castle, 1921

Yosemite Valley,
May 13, 1872.

Dear Sister Sarah:

A few days ago I got a package of plants and seeds from Hong Kong, China, and as you have an appetite for curiosities I thought I would send you a few scraps of them. They are from the Countess of Avonmore, once the famous Mrs. Yelverton. She writes that the country about Hong Kong is exceedingly beautiful. In speaking of her book, Zanita, she says that she thinks they have suppressed a good many passages in it.
Yosemite is glorious …

Dear Mrs Carr, The plants from Mrs Yelverston wh you kindly forwarded are here. I have been writing a dozen letters but my pen slips wholly frictionless only to a few.

Mr Forbes has just started for Fayal to bring my daughter home - We are having the driest of springs here - & no mountain streams near to draw from as they have in California - there is much in Mr Emersons' writings to admire, yet in him I always feel the want of the genial sympathy with human every day life - if he was

the edge of the sun - they looked about so high - but were about 10,000 miles high -

When you look at the falls, greet them for me -
