illegible your kind and friendly words. You may rest assured that I shall try to continue to deserve what you say. I am concerned
over your daughter's health and 1 trust she will be speedily better. Again very heartily thanking you, believe me, Ever
Yours, Theodore Roos illegible Mr. John Muir, Martinez, California. P. S. I always grudged Emerson's not having gone
into camp with you. You would have made him perfectly comfortable and he ought to have had the experience. 04046
