Yosemite July 29th [1870]

My dear friend Mrs Carr

I am very very blessed The valley is full of people but they do not annoy me I resolve in pathless places & in higher rocks than the world & his ribbony wife can reach, Had I not been blunted by hard work in the mill & crazed by Sabbath raids among the high places of this heaven I would have written you long since I have spent every Sabbath for the last two months in the spirit world screaming among the peaks & outside meadows like a negro Methodist in …

Oakland, Sunday. [July 10, 1870]Dear John,I've just been at the 'howling' point all this afternoon, having spent some hours with Mr. McClure, who gave me a detailed account of the upper Fall expedition, and coming back I met the University boys who are going in company with Prof. Joseph LeConte. Now I had felt that Providence was saving L. C. to go with me, and I feel abused by the arrangement. It was so exactly the thing for us to have gone in company -- and Miss Graham, a member of his family, also wished to go, and both were …

for the last two weeks, and not a drop of rain - and seldom any dew all that time. With us harvest will commence on the fifth of July as we have a field of barley nearly ready now - and now I must conclude by telling you that our faithful favorite, Nan - that has been with us in all our journeys for so many years.- is dead and buried two weeks ago - I don't know whither her place can ever be filled - Joanna joins me in love to you - from you affectionate Mother

Yosemite June 21st 70 -

My dear doctor

I received two letters this evening one from you, & one from uncle [Dan?], which I will send you, It is doubtful wither I write you a letter tonight or not because it is quite late & I have been running the mill all day & am tired. Yesterday I climbed to the top of two of the Yosemite falls & so my weariness almost amounts to stupidity I am glad at least doctor that the world is all so glowing bright to you lighted as it is by the wonderful power …

many of them as you wish together with as many other Yosemite things that you may ask for & send it out to you before the pack train makes its last trip. I know the Spiren you speak of, it is abundant all around the top of the valley & on the rocks at lake Tanaga & reaches almost to the very summit about Mt Dana. There is also a purple one very abundant in the fringe meadows of Yosemite Creek a mile or two back from the brink of the falls Of course it will be a source …

Oakland, May 28th. [1870]

Dear John Muir,

I have answered all thy letters, and some of them have been quite long and though hurriedly written were too full of what I find no one else wants, to be lost. I am longing, yea, pining for the pines, for the sweet house of life in which you live, and not less to see what manner of man you are becoming, left entirely to Nature's teaching and discipline. Mr. Carlton, who writes the enclosed, and is a friend worth knowing, ought to go to the Valley this year, but fears he cannot. …

[Page 4]
I most devoutly disbelieve. This so-called development theory yet it is far from being necessarily absurd or ridiculous there is a great deal of misapprehension and confused misunderstanding among people in general concerning it.
I perceive in Chas Darwin not a visionary enthusiast nor malicious enemy to revealed religion but a profound and righteous philosopher an earnest seeker after truth at the un[ ]gled fountains of pure nature. The mind of Darwin is not itself satisfied with his own theory. He has had excellent opportunities for observation. This great intellect is brooding over the vast ocean of organic …

I would gladly climb to the top our highest rocks to find out whether you are on this or the other side of the rocky mtns Can it be that you are indeed in California.

Well [illegible] I congratulate you upon your arrival in this Pacific land of gold I mean the gold …

and you know how much work that brings along with it, but it is pretty well along now and I think will be very comfortable when finished. I have been doing rather more then my usual amount of digging making and planting this spring, my tree's and bushes are growing finely and I think repay for all the trouble, my health is rather poor but I manage to be around and help along a little. I keep a girl to do my work and go out of doors a good deal. Maggie has been out here twice lately she …
