I may see her.Goodbye dear. Give my love to Grandma & everybody Your loving fatherJohn Muir[1]Dunbar ScotlandJuly 13. 1893Dear Wanda,It is about 10 o'clock in the forenoon here but no doubt you are still asleep for it is about midnight at Martinez & sometimes when it is today here it is yesterday in California on account of being on opposite sides of the round world. But ones thoughts travel fast & I seem to be in California whenever I think of you &[in margin: Give this Scotish Bluebell to Maggie - from [Bayswell?]]
