John Muir Esq Dear Mr. Muir: It has been along time since we have heard from you and we fear you may have abandoned literature altogether, very much we are sure to the loss of American readers.

Has the ink in your fountain entirely dried up, or would you have time to sit down on receipt of this letter and write for me an account of your experience and talks with Emerson, during his visit to the Yosemite? It would seem to be a pity that
