Hamilton Gram. School, Geary St. near Scott, San Francisco, Nov. 6, 1882.
Mr. John Muir,
Dear Sir and Kind Friend:
That “Box of Grapes” you so Kindly sent, has come to hand. How can I sufficiently thank you for your many kindnesses? It is not the least of my grief, that, by missing that chance to make a fortune 4 years ago; [deleted: that] I put it out of my own power (perhaps Forever,) to reward my faithful, generous friends as they deserve.
[Page 2]
But if God does look down upon mortals, with loving will and power to do them good:- May He reward each and all of my friends, a thousand –fold. When you come to S.F. do call and see me, even if it is only for 5 minutes: - and especially, if Mrs. Muir should bring the “Baby” to town, I should, very much like to see it. My brotherly love to all
Yours truly John Bagnall
