Transcription:
Bidwell Papers Bancroft Library Martinez, May. 7, 1896. My dear General. I sent on your statement to Sargent cutting
it down a little, he has received it says in reply. The information about General Bidwell his crossing the Sierra I will certainly
refer to in the Silva . The election of another president is drawing nigh I hope trust the hard crushing times of the last
years will soon pass away that you everybody will speedily be better off. Remember me to your noble wife. How many charming
memories of the Shasta Chico days spent with you linger with me brightening irradiating the auld lang syne, as we Scotch say.
With kindest regards General I am ever Your friend John Muir
