in margin: 85 01112 Oakland Nov. 3d 1883 Dear Mr Muir Your picture and poem in fruit and vine filled us all with
delight. It was pleasant to know you had not forgotten your Oakland friends though we had no word from you in so long. The
pleasure of knowing your wife and little one seems denied us while you are living so far away but do try sometime to have
them come to Oakland if only for a little time for I do not think they would object to its sticky skies as much as you do
How I would love to see Wanda and visit with her and enjoy with her
