Transcription:
Yosemite Valley June 3d 1875 Dear Mrs Carr, Where are you? Lost in conventions electing womens rights fights buried beneath
many a load of musty granger hay You always seem inaccess able to me, as if you were in a crowd, even when I write, my written
words seem to be heard by Mary that I do not like I wish some of your predictions given in your last may come true like the
first you made long ago Yet some-how it seems hardly likely that you will ever be sufficiently free, for your labors multiply
from year to year. Yet who knows. I found poor Larnous? grove as you directed The upper end of the Valley seems fairly silent
empty without him. Keith got fine sketches I found new beauties truths of all kinds. Mack illegible will tell you all. I send
you my buttonhole plume Farewell
