[letterhead]June 7, 1895My dear friend Muir,Last week Wednesday it was arranged, & I was to write the next day, that we would be in San Francisco this week. A few days before this we went out to Woodstock to bury my mother, the weather was wet cold & dreary & Mrs. Sellers caught a severe cold, & on the Wednesday night above mentioned, it developed into quite a severe illness. The business that I was going to San F. on, was to attend a meeting there on June 15th in connection with a land scheme in Mountain Home Idaho, that this Company is acting as trustee for. It has just been decided to hold this meeting at Mountain Home and as Fay is still too ill for me to leave her I shall have to send Frank in my place. He will leave here Sunday night.Now this dont necessarily mean that we may not come out this summer. as I tell Fay that as we have an annual pass over the Santa Fe which expires Dec 31 we will have to go out to San F. or return before that date to get our money's worth & for her health.Now I understand from you that you were going into the mountains about July 1. When do you expect to come out?Our business has grown so since we moved into our elegant new offices (La Salle & Washington Sts), the Trust Department [illegible] (Frank's) with the rest, that I don't see how it will be possible to let him go with you to the mountains this summer.Old fellows like you & I have earned the right to go but 01990
