Will send some up soon. With love to all Ever yours John Muir June 7th, 1886 Dear Louie. I am still at illegible may possibly
remain there. Have been over to Alameda have inspected the tank cell the Dr. kindly offers either the tank or a room in his
house Have been to 760 14th St. to inquire about Youngs little girl fearing more more as I approached the house that the little
thing was dead. so it proved. Mrs. Selfrige came to the door told me that the poor little baby woman died last Saturday. They
are trying to take the poor wasted body back to Alaska Young has not yet heard the sad sad news I'm very sorry for him..
I make slow progress with my scheme. Cherries are quite low better send in the white cherries in large boxes. the smallest
ought to be culled out, sold to the pedlars at any price, as the canners dont want them. Sell all you can at home. Send a
box to Mr Baker
