1419 Taylor St, S. F. ca.1876 Tuesday noon Dear bro S illegible tt. I was delighted to learn through Mr Sonimlaw Parkhurst
that a position on this board of normal school trustees had been offered you. Dont I pray you for a moment hesitate to accept.
It is of all things the best for you of anything in Heavens gift. The medicine for your sore sudden lonely heart sickness.
You must accept. Anyhow dont refuse until I see you Of course you are much better but not yet to be trusted in such matters
Ill probably be home Saturday or Sunday though home here Ever your friend truly John Muir.
