Transcription:
ca. Aug. 1888 Dear Papa your two letters reached me safely with the flowers and they were so lovely. I was sorry that the
bear caught your hand. How I wish I could go with you and see the lovely flowers and trees and climb the mountains and see
the glaciers and drink the cold pure glacier water. O Papa please bring me some of the bonny spireas and sweet wild roses.
did you eat many of those nice berries? I wish I could go along and eat as many as I want. we have fine big peaches and Bartletts
here, but no berries. Those mountains must be perfectly grand, but O Papa dont climb too far if the weather is stormy. When
are you coming home dear Papa? I want to see you so much and Helen says too very often, I want to see my own dear Papa I goin
write tell him to come home and stay with baby , and she did look so sweet trying to write. Aunt Annie reached Lincoln all
right and well August 1. I hope you will send me another letter very soon, and some bonny mosses and many ferns. Your loving
little girl, Annie Wanda Muir.
