Martinez, Dec. 27, 1913 Dear Kelloggs Three Many thanks for your kind hearted greetings. Tell darling Jean the kiss she
sent came very fast to me over the hills for kisses have wings and fly far and never die and the make old folk young again.
As to the loss of the Sierra park valley it's hard to bear. The destruction of the charming groves gardens the finest in all
California goes to my heart. But in spite of Satan Co. some sort of compensation must surely come out of even this dark damn-dam-damnation
The post order is for a doll or any thing for Darling Jean. Love to you Heaven's best luck Ever Faithfully Your friend
John Muir
