Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. Jamaica Plain Mass., January 8, 1894 My dear Mr. Muir: Thank you. The Silva is
coming on slowly. The fifth volume appeared in October and the sixth is fairly on the way. I am working hard at it in order
to get it off my hands in time to pay you a visit this spring. I should have accomplished this easily if the grip had not
got the best of me in December and caused me to lose nearly a month's time. However, I still want to get away, if I can, in
time to see something of the Spring vegetation of California which will be quite new to me. Planned it illegible a dozen
years illegible - 1893When we meet we can talk over that trip to India which I am still keen for, and all the more so if I
can have the pleasure of your company. We often think and speak of your visit to Brookline and I hope the time is not far
distant when you will come and see us again. I am glad you had such a good time on the other side of the ocean. With kind
regards, I am, always faithfully yours, C. S. Sargent. John Muir, Esq., Martinez, Cal. 01764
