[Fragment of letter, p.3, in Muir's handwriting]

The flowers I used to watch and love are mostly dead, and all the open gardens are trodden into dust, but in craggy nooks and aloft in the high fenced conservatories a thousand of the fairest and dearest still dwell safely. Pat, pat, shuffle,shuffle, crunch, crunch, I hear you all on the sidewalks and sandbeds, plodding away, hoping in righteousness and heaven, and saying your prayers as best you can, above the sand, beneath the fog, and fenced by the lake and marshes.
Heaven help you all and give you ice …

King Death.

King Death was a rare old fellow! He sat where no sun could shine; And he lifted his hand so yellow, And poured out his coal-black wine. Hurrah! for the coal black wine!

There came to him many a Maiden, Where eyes had forgot to shine; And widows with grief [illegible] laden, For a draught of his sleepy wine. Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!

The Scholar left all his learning; The Poet his fanced woes; And the Beauty her bloom returning Like life to the fading rose. Hurrah! for the coal-black wine!

All came to the royal old …

Dear Bro David

Yours of Oct’ 8th & 21st were rec’d some weeks ago I send here with, a bill of exchange for $.290 instead of $500 as I first proposed because I think from the tenor of your letter that this change will make no mat- erial difference to you.

six oclock and works untiringly the day long. He has bought forty sheep from Daniel and seems much pleased with the idea of having them to care for. I do not see how he can undergo so much fatigue, and feel as if this way of doing must stop before a great while but he does not seem to to see it in that light. I suppose you know where all of the girls are and how they are getting along. I had a letter from Mary. She seems to be enjoying herself first rate. I trust she will …

Dear John Muir,

Yours of Oct. 3 just received. [I] think you must have another from me by this [time], as I wrote directing to Snellings about the date of yours.
I hope you will consider this your home on the Pacific, and come home not for a meager visit, but to stay, and refit for new expeditions, and rest, and delight us all with what you have seen and experienced. It is a humble home -- more so than any we have known, but we are very glad to …
