Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. Jamaica Plain, Mass., November 12,1894 My dear Muir: Many thanks for the Walnuts
which have come safely to hand aid shall be committed forthwith to mother earth. Thanks too for your consoling and hopeful
remarks about The Silva. It may be a terrestrial job as you suggest but to me the Oak part of it might better be described
as sub-terrestrial. They are horrid and none so bad, I believe, as those of southern California. Yes, take your saunter through
the Grand Ca on while I am finishing The Silva and then we will start for the Himalayas. Faithfully yours, illegible
John Muir, Esq., Martinez, Cala. 01873
