Dear Mr. Muir:
I was not thought to be well enough to go with the Sierra Club this summer, but am now sufficiently recovered to be vaguely considering a trip to the mountains somewhere. Perhaps I am not quite equal to going off alone, and at the season my friends are all, so far as I know, busy with their affairs. I had written to John Fox at Millwood, but Jordan tells me he has disappeared. Dead? Do you know of any one I could employ to accompany me and do my packing & cooking? [illegible] of course

acquainted with your part of the mountains. I am sorry to bother you to write, but you can make it short. I am getting better, tho my [face?] is still half dead an one side and my right eye will never work for more than an hour or two at a time. Remember me very cordially to Mrs. Muir and the young ladies. My wife wishes me to add that she is still hoping to see Mrs. Muir here. I pledge
myself to see that you are not ambushed and forced to make a speech, if you come.
Yours faithfully,
Melville B Anderson
