Dear John Muir,

make at least a beginning of duties this week, weather and the fates permitting. I cannot tell you how precious I hold your work, and how much I thank you for this copy of your last. No other pen can ever give to God's woods and mountains the magic touch of yours. Do you never go to any of your old friends? One of them would be very glad to see you

in her little home upon the hilltops when you come to the windy city. Maybe dear William Keith would come with you. With best wishes to all your home circle,
Your auld lang syne friend,
Ina Coolbrith.
