ARNOLD ARBORETUM. 2 illegible Canby and I are both rather for the delights of that hotel in Rome and are beginning to
talk about another trip in that region early in the spring to look at Crataegus in flower and other things which can only
be seen in that part of the world.Are you going to join us? Why not? Having seen the Alleghany Mountains in the autumn, you
ought now to take a look at them in the spring. Faithfully yours,C.S. illegible John Muir, Esq. Martinez, Cal.
