One of these days, however, my audacious pen will proceed to desecrate the glories of you valley.

Oakland, Feb. 4, '72.

Dear John,

The rain falls so gently, I seem to feel the ferns uncoiling, the social companies of poulsatilla whispering to each other.just under ground, 'The morning is near', Hepaticas getting ready for their leap into the arms of Spring, under its influence. Jus-t such a rain as fills every moss urn in our northern woods and makes the Eypnum beds so green,so green.
Strange, is'nt it, that those woods, that beech trunks and hemlock thickets should seem so much more spiritual, than any creature of this occidental world. Hope used to say, when for the …

[page 1 not transcribed} qo THE WONDERS OF THE YOSBMITE VALLEY, the head of the Merced river was not high enough for the formation of a glacier into the Valley. Now comes the question, which Mr. Muir discusses: Was the Valley once occupied by a glacier? The following are Mr. Muir's observations, almost in his own words, in a recent letter: v I have been over my glacial territory, and am surprised to find that it is so small and fragmentary. The work of ancient ice, which we proposed to christen ' glacial system of the Merced,' is only a …
