We do look about as me go & do leave much of the ways & works of Nature -
Tomorrow morning I start with the two little boys Ave[illegible]ell & Roland for Oregon - Kluneath Lake - by way of San Francisco - We are going into camp & it will delight us if you will go also. They want to kill something, which might not interest you, bears trout &c &c. Let me hear [the?] E.E. Calvin [illegible] Pac Co I am [illegible]. that you will [join?] us please.
Cornelia is in Europe with some friends this summer & Mary & Carol (the little girl she's big now) go on the yacht with Mrs Harriman to Bar Harbor while we boys are away.

Always yours

Dear Mr Muir

I am deeply troubled at your letter of 2d just received - we all grieved much over poor D[illegible] - I had grown to look upon him as a real friend & knew him to be a true man - I am glad to have shared his friendship with you. I am fortunate in having many friends & am indeed proud to count you among the best - my troubles are not to be considered with yours & some others for they are only passing & will be eventualy cleared up & understood even by the "some" to whom you refer.
The responsibilities weigh most when such misfortunes occur [illegible] was of the poor passenger who passed on with brave Do[illegible].
