1 San Sorenzo 3/26/92 Mr John Muir: My dear Mr Muir Your note of yesterday reached me this morning have me great pleasure.
The hope of meeting you once more listening to your descriptions explanations, makes, of this, a red letter day to me. Such
an informal conversational address as you suggest, moreover, is precisely what I should of all prefer. And now I am moved
to ask if you will not fix a date for this great f illegible . We are as you know a fruit growing community after the first
of May the busy season is upon our orchard illegible . About that time also I am ex- 01564 2 pecting to be absent on
a visit among my friends at the est. Can you not give us the pleasure during the month of April? I would suggest Thursday
evening the 21st inst. That would give the people moonlight for their home going; in other respects would be very favorable.
Any other date after the 17th, however, which would accommodate you, would be agreeable to us. It will be a kindness if you
will take the matter into your own hands notify me as to the date. Will you also kindly state to me the terms of which you
will come. Hoping to hear from you soon and favorably I remain Sincerely yours F. B. Perkins. 01564
