1872 Yosem' Vall' March 5th Dear Doctor Yours of Jan 14th reached me this evening Alas I have tidings that my trunk has
arrived at Coulterville, will be forward ed after the melting of the mtn snow. Many thanks for your prompt action I think
that other letters of mine to you have been detained by the snow blockade on the railroad. I am glad to hear of your marriage.
May God be good to you. I shall always re- juice in your happiness For a long time I shall wander in these remote mountains
but my heart shall always contain living love for you.
