676 TRAVEL IN EUROPE AND AMERICA. [1877, 
Some day you must have a picture of our camp on 
La Veta Pass. I wish there could have been one of 
the Shasta camp of the Bidwells. 
TO CHARLES DARWIN. 
CampBripGe, September 27, 1877. 
My pear Darwin, — Returning from our ten 
and a half weeks of travel, which has been every 
way prospered and pleasant, I find your book.! 
ean now barely thank you for it, and for the great 
compliment of the dedication. I must not open 
it till Hooker leaves me, a week hence, the work 
we have to do before we part being so great and 
pressing. Then I shall turn to it, with enjoyment, 
and as soon as I can find time I must notice or re- 
view i 
Hooker sends his love ; is very glad Cohn has taken 
up your son’s experiments on Dipsacus, which reminds 
me to send my best thanks to him for the copy ad- 
dressed to me. For perusal, even for a glance, that, 
too, must wait till we have worked up the collections 
and observations we have made in our journey to the 
Pacific. 
Let me add, being sure of your sympathy, that 
our poor dog Max peacefully breathed his last to-day, 
after a happy life of twelve or thirteen years. We 
are glad he lived till we returned, and greeted us 
with his absorbing and touching affection. In a few 
days came a partial paralysis, some convulsions, and 
then a quiet and seemingly painless ending. He is 
immortalized in your book on Expression, and will 
live in the memory of his attached master and mis- 
tress.
