John Muir wrote this letter to Clara Barrus, a physician with the state psychiatric hospital in Middleton, New York, from Martinez, California on September 23, 1909.

He also mentions a letter from John Burroughs, an American naturalist and nature essayist, in which Burroughs has finished at least one article about the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Muir also hopes that Burroughs will next write about Yosemite. He closes the letter about the health of a woman named Helen, who is doing well.
