Letters to a Friend 



other chance, and I will remit the money re 

 quired in any way you like. 



My love to all and more thanks than I can 

 write for your constant kindness. 



Yosemite Valley, February 13, 1872. 



Your latest letter is dated December 3ist. 

 I see that some of our letters are missing. I re 

 ceived the box and ate the berries and Liebig's 

 extract long ago and told you all about it, but 

 Mrs. Yelverton's book and magazine articles 

 I have not yet seen. Perhaps they may come 

 next mail. How did you send them ? I sympa 

 thize with your face and your great sorrows, 

 but you will bathe in the fountain of light, life, 

 and love of our mountains and be healed. And 

 here I wish to say that when you and Al and 

 the Doctor come, I wish to be completely free. 

 Therefore let me know that you will certainly 

 come and when. I will gladly cut off a slice of 

 my season's time however thick the thicker 

 the better and lay it aside for you. I am in 

 the habit of asking so many to come, come, come 

 [ in ]
