Yosemite Valley Sep’ 3d 1843
Dear Sister Sarah, I have just returned from the longest & hardest trip I have ever made in the mtns., having been gone over five weeks. I am weary but resting fast, Sleepy but sleeping deep & fast, hungry but eating much – For two weeks I explored the glaciers of the summits east of here, sleeping among the snowy mtns without blankets & with but little to eat on account of its being so inaccess- ible. After my icy experiences it seems strange to be down here in so warm & flowery a climate I will soon be off again determined to use all the season in prosecuting my researches — will go next to Kings river a hundred miles south, then to Lake Tahoe & adjacent mtns. & in winter work in Oakland with my pen
