Muir reunion by Christmas time - I fear that cannot be now, even if it were convenient for you people in the Valley, for just
as I was beginning to fear that we could not get there this coming winter I rec'd a letter from brother Dan saying it would
hardly suit him to before next June - So if it pleases you we will illegible to hope that we way get together another year
- I see by the papers that you have been introducing president Taft to the beauties of Yosemite - So this, no doubt, was
one of the interruptions to which you referred in your letter of a few weeks ago - We have just been re reading your description
of Hetch Hetchy Valley, and it is a delight - How I wish it might sometime be possible for us to see these wonderful places.
I will not take any more of your time for the present but will hope some day to see your dear face again - Very affectionately
