These 30 letters, totaling more than 100 pages, were written by Muir to five
correspondents. Twenty are to his old friend Emily Pelton, with whose family
he boarded in Prairie du Chien in 1860-61, or to her aunt Frances. Four other
letters are to childhood friends from Wisconsin, James Whitehead and Milton Griswold.
A few other letters of a routine business nature are also included. All but six
of the letters have never been previously published in their entirety (though
typed copies of most were included in Muir's manuscripts at the University of
the Pacific).
