Transcription:
Martinez, California, Aug. 11, 1909. Dear Miss Barrus: I've just returned from the Sierra Club outing, as none of my mail
was forwarded I've just now received your card from Middletown showing you had got safely home. What a fine telling trip you
three have had though I am sure it might have been still better had you let me plan it. Had you been with us all July you
would have seen the grand Hetch Hetchy the Yosemite also the Merced Canon lakes glaciers as well as those of the Tuolumne,
fine views of all the forest zones from giant Sequoias to the summit dwarfs - etc etc got really acquainted with a lot of
capital mountaineers. I was particularly disappointed not having you three at the ranch for a few days quiet visit, instead
of an automobile rush of a few confused minutes with mixed company. I'm going to see Helen tomorrow.- She is now about as
well as ever- Then back to the old den here try to write. Give my love to John Mrs Ashley believe me ever faithfully yours
John Muir
