Yellowstone Park Association, Yellowstone Lake Hotel, July 11, 1896. Hello Midge, I am getting nearer to you, but
still it is a long way home. I hope you are well and not too lonesome, and that the oat crop and peach crop are good and abundant.
Here is a pretty Kalmia I picked yesterday, and a bunch of gentians. I sailed the Yellowstone lake yesterday. I must run.
The stage is ready. Goodbye. JOHN MUIR 113 02123
