Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. Jamaica Plain, Mass., August 13, 1907. My dear Muir: I am just back from the other
side and find your letters of July 7th. I had nearly four weeks there and saw Ireland for the first time. It is a beautiful
country and trees grow wonderfully well there, especially those from Chili and from our northwest coast. I too want very
much to go to South Africa, and my daughter wants to go with me. We thought somewhat of going last winter but had to give
it up, and I do not Know as I can go this winter for I cannot shake off this confounded Crataegus business which I fear or
is going to shorten my life, or at any rate deprive me of a good deal of pleasure in other directions. Mexico we certainly
ought to manage. I am glad to hear that your daughter is improving, and as you say nothing about it I judge that you are
well yourself. Faithfully yours, C. S. Sargent John Muir, Esq., Martinez, Cal. 03915
