1 letterhead June 30 1902 Dear Mr Muir. I am just back from your glacier which I found left in good state of health
- but it gave me a rather cool reception on as fair a morning as ever smiled on its rugged whiteness. It only sent out a cohort
of floaters about the bay to receive us. I propose to go into the Kings River region this week some time. My last from Dr
Merriam 03018 2 letterhead informed me that he should stop at Knoxville Tenn for a week not reach Kings River till
about 10th Do you know anything more recent than 17th June? illegible I was informed here at the Academy of Sciences that
he you were intending to go in together this week - and that your daughters have already joined the club - The Chronicle of
yesterday states that the Tuolumne region is on fire and its big trees almost sure to be destroyed illegible a high wind to
S.E. Would it be likely to affect your movements? Respectfully Yrs J.S. Merriam in margin: Wawona was sending aid -
