Transcription:
Chico, June 19, 1889. Dear Muir, Your very kind letter of 18th inst. duly to hand this morning. Our interpretation of
your telegram was that you were about to make us a visit. Hopes blasted Of course I shall be glad to see your friend Mr. Johnson,
and do anything in my power for him. But I cannot be a contributor to his magaine for I cannot write - there is nothing literary
in my composition. Mrs. Bidwell - as I am - is disappointed in not seeing your wife and self, before our departure for Colorado
Springs, Colo. which will be within two weeks we hope. With best wishes, in which my wife cordially unites, I am very sincerely
Your friend John Bidwell Prof John Muir San Francisco 01346
