1960 N. Pa. St., Indianapolis,Oct. 11, 1897.My dear Mr. Muir:I have had it in my heart to write to you ever sincethe return of Kate and mina from your beautiful land. I am glad ofwhat they could tell us of your lovely home- of yourself, of yourwife and daughters. Once a friend – a friend forever – and I thankGod that I have had many life-long friends.In the September “Century” I found a wonderful story – of the“Adventure with a dog” on a glacier. I enjoyed every word of it – readit over and over – and then Nerrill read it – and then he read it aloudto the assembled family – much to the delight of all. We thank you forit. But I want to say-do not fail to have it published in book form.It is too good to be lost in a magazine.I know that you love Janet and will wish to hear from thedear child. She seems to be slowly improving. I go next week to staya month near her – if it seems best. I will write and tell you moreparticularly when I return. Thank Mrs. Muir for her love and sympathy.God knows I need it all – and am grateful.The summer did much good to my sisters. They were happyin all of their visits and have come back in love with California.Their visit to Katie[Graydon] did them good. Janer and Katie, howinseparable.with love,Julia M[errill] Moores02346
