Transcription:
Martinez, Feb. 6. 1896. My dear Mr. Sellers. I'm very glad you liked the little picture Keith I sent you Keith is far
more than half crazed with his fine new studies fine dollarisk social success, therefore that this picture was not forgotten
shows that we feel your kindness cannot be covered or dimmed by anything. Those photographs were so good I had to hide them
else they would have been all begged away long ago. but I still have half of them, never expected you would make any more.
I think I told you in my last about my visit to Southern California the lectures I had to give. I am now pegging away at my
literary tasks awkward slow as ever. Remember me to Mrs. Sellers Frank all the friends I saw at Your fine home believe me
ever Cordially Yrs John Muir
