letterhead to take long rides over the plateaux hereabouts studying the wonderful fossil forests of the Carboniferous period
which flourished over an extensive area in glorious luxuriance in this plateau region, - pines, arancarias lepidodendrons,
sigillarias, calamites, tree ferns etc opening most impressive magnificent views into God's auld lang syne. This hard work
hard enjoyment I find good for all sorrow care. The photograph came safely is very fine though at first sight I hardly recognized
you in it. The papers too I have to thank you for, Letters sent here or to Martinez will reach me as they are forwarded to
wherever I happen to be. Should you come to America again be sure to stop off visit us at Adamana I'll show you a grand lot
of geological wealth With kindest wishes I am ever faithfully gratefully yours John Muir. 03697
