Transcription:
At May's Friday morning Dec. 29, 1905 Darlings I got home last evening instead of Wednesday evening - a whole day late.
Our train was 11 hrs late at Barstow passed Muir at 3 or 4 o'clock Thursday morning, so I went on to Richmond, slept until
the porter woke me at 7.25 to take the boat for San Francisco where I spent the day came back on the 4 o'clock train. There
was no frost or snow beyond Williams all hereabouts seems a new heavens earth strangely tropical but less beautiful that the
white Adamana world. Be sure you get your bedding dry keep well, Im going back to the city today to Valona tomorrow. Will
write the news in day or two. Heaven bless you darlings - So prays your loving father John Muir
