The snow drifted about in the frosty wind like meal & the falls were muffled in thick cheeks of frozen spray. Thus do winter & Spring leap into the Valley by turns each remaining long enough to form …

happiest days & scrap portions of my life were in that old slant walled garret & among the smooth creeks that trickled among the sedges of Fountain Lake meadow In recalling the mechanical achievements of those early days I remember with satisfaction that the least successful one was that horrid guillotine of a thing slicing off gophers heads Those money receipts are all right, You say that business is dull but that you expect to live through it all, certainly you will, As a family we are pretty firmly united & you know that no one tree of a close …

Yosemite Valley

Jan 30th 1870

Dear friend Duncan Sterling, I believe that it is a rule in epistolary intercourse in case of silence on the part of a correspondent who never corresponds from one January to another to strike him off the list. But do not think that you are going to get away so easily. I break all rules in this lawless kind of life.

I hear that you are very well and that you are a storekeeper-post master etc and moreover that you are a “better boy than ever” and are very fond of fish trout. …

Yosemite Valley Jan 29th 70 –

Dear friend Emily

I send you a hearty New Years greeting from the depths of the Sierra Mountains & none the less cordial for its tardiness – You have a great many friends East & West, & doubtless you have gathered a bountiful harvest of friendships gold in these happy days of the New Year. But Alas! None of the holiday meetings & greetings for me. New Year found me very painfully far from home & friends. in this rock girt hidden temple of the Mountain securely locked & ‘snow bound” amid the winter …

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Oakland, Jan. 22, '70.Dear John Muir,I think of you as far too blessed to need words from the lower world, and yet I meant to send many and oft repeated greetings to your winter quarters. I think with delight how the winter home looks, of little brown "Squirrel" in the glow of the firelight, of the long walks, and readings, and thinkings -- the morning tintings of the rocks, the comforting warmth of the pines and firs. (I never felt as warm as in the pine woods in winter). Well, I could wish I were there, but the dear ones …
