Martinez, Feb 2, 1895
My dear Mr Sellers,
Im sorry you are not feeling well, but not that the island trip is to be postponed. It seems every way delightful & kind & I would enjoy it gloriously in your company but I am hard beset with literary work & I have no knack of getting it off my hands in haste. I expect to finish the first article tomorrow, then comes three more & a book. Still after I have done enough to honestly earn a rest I shall be only too glad to go there with you to see the palms & ferns & that famous old fire place of nature
The weather here is more delightful sunshine & larksong in abundance. Mrs. Stretzel is too much an invalid to travel & Mrs M cannot leave her but Pasadena trip would
be delightful. I have not been in San Francisco since I saw you nor have I heard from the artist Threrefore he must be well & money busy. Remember me to Frank when you write, cordial regards to Mrs. Sellers. Tell her that Mrs. Strentzel & Mrs M. want a better photo of her. They say the one I brought home is not nearly good enough. And don't forget your own as you promised, & in all your plans be sure you give ample scope for your visit to us. Ive been pegging away at icy Alaska until I cant sleep.
Ever Cordially yours
John Muir
