few weeks by the way We hope to spend a few days in Madison and I promise myself a great deal of pleasure. I hope to go south
towards the end of summer and as this will be a journey that I know very little about I hope to profit by your coun- sel before
setting out. I am very happy with the thought of so soon seeing my Madison friends Madison, and the plants of Madison yours.
I am thankful that this affliction has drawn me to the sweet fields rather than from them. Give my love to Allie Henry and
all my friends Yours most cordially John Muir Roses with us are now in their grandest splendor My address for five
or six weeks from this date will be, - Portage City Wis - 00416
