letterhead Jan 27. 1899 Dear Mr. Muir. I took the pleasure a couple of days past to mail to you a copy of the second
edition of the Southern Timber Pines, which has been lab illegible issued. I shall happy if you will accept the book in kind
remembrance of the hours you did spend with us in Mobile. The present is a strange winter with, Cloudy skies, scarcely interrupted
by bright sunshine, continued chilly damp weather with frequent storms and heavy rains prevails almost constintly. In consequence
I am doomed to indoor life, and have more than my wanted share of rheumatic troubles and heavy coughing spells. Matters are
progressing nicely in regard to the progress in the publication of the Plant life of Alabama. I am hard at work to meet the
suggestion to add to the catalogue of Vascular Plant in connection with the work, the Cellular plants so far known to occure
in this state. With my warmest wishes I am truly yours Charles Mohr To. John Muir Esq. Martinez, Cal. P.S. Please
paste inclosed slip on the fly leaf of the Timber Pines. 02535
