2 ticable. Your paper on Sequoia gigantea was received yesterday. I thank you very much for it, and shall read it with
great pleasure, and, I am sure, profit also. For the last week I have been wishing one of your glaciers was located somewhere
in this vicinity It has been hot as illegible (90 to 96 in shade) with illegible saturated with humidity. This is the first
really wet summer in about 11 years, and has rained at least twice a week all summer - heavy rains, too; more than 3 6
inches of rain in July and 4 inches for first half of August. Hoping you are well, I am, with best regards Sincerely yours
Robert Ridgway Mr. John Muir Martinez California Please remember me to Mr. Keeler should you see him. - R.R.
