LETTERS 



TO 



A FRIEND 



by 

 John Muir 



These letters of the late John Muir, now given to the pub 

 lic for the first time, will be of particular interest to the 

 many admirers of his work. Most of them were written 

 from Yosemite Valley and give a good idea of the life Muir 

 led there as well as reveal more of his personality than is to 

 be found in his more formal writings.
