apr 1872? Letter 28. 2. to draw unspeakable enjoyment from them. Are we not rich when our six foot column of substance
sponges up heaven above and earth beneath into its pores. Aye we have chambers in us the right shape for earthquakes. Churches
and the schools lisp limpingly painfully of mans capabilities, possibilities and fussy developing nostrums of duties, but
if the human flocfk together with their Revs and double LD shepardswould go wild themselves they would discover without Euclid
that the solid contents of a human sould is the whole world. Our streams are fast obtaining their highest power. Warm nights
and days are making the high Mtn. snow into snow avalanches and snow falls. Violets blue, white and yellow abound. Butterflies
through the meadows and mirror shallows reveal new heavens and new earths everywhere. Remember me to the Doctor and all the
boys and to McChesney and the brotherhood. Cordially, J. Muir.
