Im pegging away & getting ahead slowly. On my 22d page ought to have 40 ere this. Miss my babes. Tell them to write - & write yourself There was a long interview report of Johnsons on Yosemite matters in last Sundays Examiner well written & must I think have been contributed by some nonsnake man.Love to allGood night10-30 P.M. & more writing to do.01343[letterhead]July 6th 1889O Dear Louie here is more of those snakes "whirled & whizzed like a wheel" "big as my thigh & head like my fist" all of them you see better & bigger than John Muirs. And when O when is that fatal interview to end. how many more idiotic articles are to grow out of it.
