Transcription:
920 Valencia St. S.F. Apr 24th 1879. Dear Mrs Carr. I enclose at last the name of the big orange book. Either Paqot Co
or illegible Co. will import it for Mr Crann at the price pen named for less if intended for the Library. I thought you would
have been to make at least one of your small business -like calls to see me ere this, but I suppose the office conventions
your farm leave you precious little time. Your days all go by in little beats bits while you move so fast you are nearly invisible
Had a moments talk with the Doctor. Am glad he is looking so much like himself again. The summer is coming. Dont know how
it will be spent. Cordially yrs John Muir. in margin: glossy leaves tilted at all angles Did you hear the B illegible lecture
