Old Yosemite Home, 



November 3d, 1875. 



I 'm delighted, in coming out of the woods, 

 to learn that the Doctor is elected to do the 

 work he is so well fitted for.

A day or two of resting and lingering in my 

 dear old haunts, and then down-town work. 



I'm sorry about Keith's stocks. Though of

Love to all. JOHN MUIR.
