in a month or so, I expect to catch one of these fine North Germany Lloyd steamers at Colombo, Ceylon for Europe by the Red
Sea Egypt etc, perhaps sailing from Naples direct for New York instead of coming back this way to Yokohama San Fran. I expect
to be home about New Year. In the meantime the white Hymmalya is a glorious inspiring aim. I'll write often so you will easily
trace my wanderings on the map many a story Ill tell when I at last join you again Love to all. Ever yours John Muir
