to say. I have been at home all summer reading proof of the book & writing a little. The last of the galley proofs I sent to New York two weeks ago. So it is now done, & will appear in the fall. The Alaska articles for the magazine have been delayed in publication they will probably appear about the same time as the book
I hope you are now getting the rest of Picturesque California.
I am glad your church is likely to be restored now. With love to Maggie & kind regards to Mrs. Kelley whose nice long letter I received & will answer I am ever your affectionate cousin John Muir

Maggie my sister is much better this year I am glad
