Washington D.C. Jany 21/1910 My dear Mr Muir- How can we thank you for that generous box of christmas 'goodies' - they
are fine and I know it would do your heart good to see our darling babies get their little illegible chairs and indian baskets
and say come on Dad lets have a feast with Mr Muir - The 'grown ups' are not far l illegible ed and we do so enjoy your kind
thoughtfullness - You know how dear to our hearts is John Muir - we love him - we wish it were in our power to have moves?
of this? actual presence of our t illegible st of friends - come to us - we do so again in this - and I assure you again that
no friend of all my life is dearer to illegible than you - If I had se illegible enough to make money I would rush it immediately
- make my pile then call John Muir and we would go to the mountains - where all care is left behind and two souls' (if you
will allow me) would live with nature - one teaching the other 04688
