Siena Club Camp, Yosemite, June 27, 1904. My dear Mr. Muir:- I meant to be one of the very first to welcome you on your
return from your long wanderings, and yet you eluded me altogether, and I never learned till it was long too late, that you
were really back. And then off you must needs rush to the Grand Canon diacritic Well, it is not too late illegible dy to
tell an old friend that you are glad he has had so grand a trip, and that he's is once more safe at home. - So it is that
in the interval of beating off mosquitoes. I am trying to pen you these lines. I shall hope to have you come down and see
us in Berkeley when I get back there, and learn from your own lips the story of your wanderings. 03391
