Transcription:
letterhead June 16 1899 Dear Louie Wanda Helen:. I wrote two days ago I suppose you will get this at the same time as
the other. We had the Governor at dinner a society affair afterward that looked queer in the wilderness. This eve we are to
have a reception at the Governors tomorrow we sail for Yakutat Bay Thence to Prince William Sound Cooks Inlet etc. We were
at the Hot Springs yesterday 15 miles from here amid lovely scenery. The Topeka arrived last eve sails in an hour or so. I
met Professor Moses his wife on the wharf then a lot of Berkeley people besides. Then the Raymond agent who introduced a lot
of people to whom I lectured in the street The thing was like a revival meeting. The weather is wondrous fine all goes well
I regret not having a letter forwarded here. as I long for a word of your welfare. Remember me to Maggie I hope she stands
the hot weather. Ever Yours Heaven keep you, darlings John Muir
