Letter from [General] John Bidwell to John Muir, 1889 Jun 19.
Chico, June 19, 1889.Dear Muir,Your very kind letter of 18th inst. duly to hand this morning. Our interpretation of your telegram was that you were about to make us a visit. Hopes blasted! Of course I shall be glad to see your friend Mr. Johnson, and do anything in my power for him. But I cannot be a contributor to his magaine for I cannot write - there is nothing literary in my composition. Mrs. Bidwell - as I am - is disappointed in not seeing your wife and self, before our departure for Colorado Springs, Colo. which will be within two weeks we hope. With best wishes, in which my wife cordially unites, I am very sincerelyYour friendJohn BidwellProf John MuirSan Francisco0134
Letter from John Bidwell to John Muir, 1881 Apr 8.
00935Rancho Chico, April 8, 1881.My Dear Muir,When in San F. early in last month I inquired of Mr Upham about you, not knowing whether you had already migrated towards the Sierras, or Alaskan glaciers and ice-bergs, or were still [illegible] in less frigid climes! Upham gave me some su[illegible]sings which, when in Martinez a few days subsequently, caused me to inquire for you, but not to dare a nearer approach to the sacred precincts even if I had time, which I had not. We have often mentioned you[Page 2]and mixed possibilities and wishes and probabilities, and among them most prominent a visit from you and your other self. But!!! from reliable information we do not now expect you both – all, I should say – quite so soon! but when will it be? Please do not delay too long. You have our sincere congratulations. But look out, when spring opens, it may take flight. Watch carefully its early years, and if found missing look for it in the direction of Alaska or other thrillingly wild and beautiful regions. Till I learn more, will forbear to instruct further. So good bye, and believe me alwaysvery Truly yours John Bidwel

User Manual for Beta Version of TURBO-GRD: A Software System for Interactive Two-Dimensional Boundary/ Field Grid Generation, Modification, and Refinement
TURBO-GRD is a software system for interactive two-dimensional boundary/field grid generation. modification, and refinement. Its features allow users to explicitly control grid quality locally and globally. The grid control can be achieved interactively by using control points that the user picks and moves on the workstation monitor or by direct stretching and refining. The techniques used in the code are the control point form of algebraic grid generation, a damped cubic spline for edge meshing and parametric mapping between physical and computational domains. It also performs elliptic grid smoothing and free-form boundary control for boundary geometry manipulation. Internal block boundaries are constructed and shaped by using Bezier curve. Because TURBO-GRD is a highly interactive code, users can read in an initial solution, display its solution contour in the background of the grid and control net, and exercise grid modification using the solution contour as a guide. This process can be called an interactive solution-adaptive grid generation
