Transcription:
Bidwell Papers Bancroft Library Martinez, April 31, 1912 Dear Mrs Bidwell, Nothing in my big lot of mail is more delightful
than your new year greeting for it stirred and brought forward innumerable fondly cherished memories, and friends become more
and more precious in the serene light of life's evening. I have just returned from a very long trying trip through South
America and Africa, and it was while exploring in Chili that the news of dear Hooker's death reached me. How long and noble
his life has been Remember me to Sallie, write me a long letter, and believe me, dear friend, ever faithfully affectionately
yours John Muir
