Transcription:
ca March 1911 Dear Mrs Hooker What a fine heart-bath you are having When I returned from the station Mr Hooker was entertaining
Mr Burroughs party with the star photographs millions of suns full of unquenchable radium. Nevertheless the weather here is
far from warm. though as you know there are spots here there that never grow cold. Sunday I went to Pasadena with my friends
the Sellers intending to stay only a day, but staid a week to try to get some Yosemite out of me some sound sleep in. Was
successful. The second morning slept like death had to be awakened about 9 o'clock. Mr. O Melving is coming Saturday to take
me through the park. Remember me to all who love you Faithfully John Muir in margin: All goes as usual at 325. illegible
I see by the newspapers that Hetch Hetchy is likely to cost us many more hard battles. No end of worry as well as sound work
