Oakland. Dec. 31st, [1671]

Dear John.

I have been a victim to the worst weather I have ever known in Cal. - neuralgic pains got hold of my face, but all the more time have I lying around good for nothing to think 'why don't he write’. I sent you a box in October, and sent you Yelverton's papers in the magazines*and book soon after, and have written, and you must be dead and the Lord has buried you. I would write you if there was a feeling uppermost that you would receive my letters. I do not think it …

Yosemite Dec 17th 71

Dear [Joseph] Le Conte My seasons work is done & I have had one general view of the Merced basin above Yosemite & am astonished at the magnitude of the ancient glaciers with wh it was universally flooded, & of the work wh they accomplished, This entire basin is one glacial monument covered with the earnest eloquent language of Nature gra]illegible]ed in small live characters too[illegible] for our eyes & also in characters of Canon & some wh are difficult to see & read only because of their magnitude. I do not hope to [illegible] …

Dear Mrs Carr, We are snowbound & your letter of Nov' 1st came two days ago. I sympathize with you for the loss of your brown Japanese, but I am glad to know that you found so much of pure human goodness in the life of your scholar, the whole world is enriched, beautified by a stratum - an atmosphere of God like souls, & it is ignorance alone that banks human love into narrow gutter chan- nels & stagnant pools making it selfish & impure when it should be boundless as air & light …

Dear Cross. I have just written a line to Maxwell & of course you are in lively remember- ance as one third of the pleasant [illegible] of the Hoffman excursion.

Could not you and "No. [3]" who is I believe Miss Blanche come by sometime with your father on his way from Sacramento or from San Francisco, which is perhaps the most convenient route?

In all my lonely journeys among the most distant and difficult pathless, passless mountains, I never wander, am never lost. Providence guides through every danger and takes me to all the truths which I need to learn, and some day I hope to show you my sheaves, my big bound pages of mountain gospel. I have just been busy moving my few chattels from Hutchings to Blacks, about half a mile down the valley and I sense feel at home. Tidings of the great far sweeping fires have reached our hidden home and I am thankful that your section …

New York, Nov 7, 1871

My dear Sir:

I have delayed a decision concerning your articles on Yosemite because it was useless to attempt to do anything with them until after the election. Mind now that we shall have to condense them sharply in order to make them available but in the condensed form they seem more desirable. Unless I hear from you to the contrary we shall make that [ ] of them, and pay of course for what we use.

Very truly yours,

J Whitland Runkle

Illinlink, Unalashka I, Alaska Terr. Oct 16, 1871.

My Dear Sir

The remembrance of my trip to the Yo Semite will always be fresh with me. I enjoyed myself thoroughly there and my pleasure was much increased by meeting a man so well-informed on its aspects as yourself. I anticipate much pleasure as well as profit from correspondence with you. Although I expected to start for Alaska at once on leaving the Yo Semite, we did not leave San Francisco until the 27th of August. We had a tedious voyage of three or four weeks when we sighted this island. …
