as if she were in her ripe rosy teens, she looks about her with her bright blue eyes as if eager to know what kind of world
she had arrived in. After a little you must come see us in our quiet home. I was glad to hear from you after so long a silence
I supposed you had vanished with your Carr cousin among the Couifers of Washington. I hope however that you will enjoy your
old employment friends in Yuba County. Remember me to the Knoxes tell them that I will gladly give their scholars that lecture
we spoke of long ago whenever I have the time good fortune to find myself at Brownsville. Remember me also to your friends
in Strawberry Valley at whose house I spent so pleasant a time years ago. Let me hear from you often believe me ever truly
your friend John Muir.
