Letter from Charlotte [H.] Kellogg to [John Muir], [ca. 1910 ?].

[4]could see her. How you must have enjoyed her visit.If she comes north again, she must come to visit us. I have written her and I hope she will want to.V.L K. is back and feeling well after his week of cooking over the fire place and tramping down the coast. Doctor Jordan is[1]Stanford UniversityThursday nightDear friend-The inscription has just come and we are very happy over it. I shall take it up Monday (when I go to town to begin a somewhat dreaded dentist\u27s siege) and then you shall come soon and see the little plate. I want it absolutely plain, so that the inscription shall be04927 [2]its entire ornament. You said something about a New Year\u27s postal cheque - I hope I did not lose it out of the letter — I have not had it — but I do not see how I could have since I opened the letter in the house.In the meanwhile, not having known about it, I wrote you in answer to your question about the fifty[3]dollars - a complicated suggestion! My, what mathematics you have led me into, and you dont believe in mathematics for women!And all the while beautiful Charlotte Jean is getting more gifts from her best friend — and all the while getting more ready to enjoy them. We are having a blessed rain so she is indoors, but content and gurgly. I wish Helen [5]home too, and told me fascinating things about all his travels in the interest of peace.I expect to get the Atlantic for your article to-morrow.Much love to you and more gratitude than I can express for your splendid generous thoughts of your Charlotte-Jean.Charlotte KelloggAre you well and able to work as you hoped to? No colds? No discomforts?0492

Letter from Charlotte H. Kellogg to John Muir, 1910 Dec 21.

[1]Stanford University21st December 1910Here we are - the babe and me taken for you by Kellogg Pere [diacritic]! And all of us wishing you a Merry Christmas — you dearest friend of us all.We want her to have a little silver plate from you, perfectly plain (I chose it yesterday) from which she is to eat on happiest festival days — birthdays - your birthday04915 [2]and Christmas or as some special reward — As she gets bigger she shall have it on those same days as her bread and butter plate, and then when she is grown she can still use it - and will it to her children!And we want you to write what you would like to have on the plate[3]by way of inscription. I shall have it copied in your own handwriting. Now that isn\u27t a ring, but dont you like the idea? Please say you do and let us have a card with the inscription.I am going up tomorrow to see what can be done for my sister\u27s poor little babe. Which is having a desperate struggle to get any food to nourish it.We have lived over and enjoyed your visit again and again. AffectionatelyCharlotte Kellog

The Sunday-School Teacher as a Conversationalist

Intense energy, coupled with wise direction, and a watchful solicitude and thoughtful tenderness, belong also to the true instructor in the Sunday-school. We would add to these, and all other excellent traits, the grand accomplishment of a good conversationalist. To achieve this will be no mean undertaking. ... Many of the grandest truths, the sweetest promises, the loftiest thoughts in all the Scriptures, have been expressed in conversation. It is a royal power, a gracious gift, a pure and lofty accomplishment, to be fitted and furnished for sweet and precious converse of the things of the kingdom.https://place.asburyseminary.edu/ecommonsatsdigitalresources/1069/thumbnail.jp

Letter from Charlotte [H. Kellogg] to [John Muir], [1911 ?] Dec 24.

[4]The Carmel Christmas days are cold and brilliant. Someday I am really going where I can be warm day after day after sunshiny day. Are you in that kind of country now?I wrote to Helen some time ago, but have not heard from her. I hope that she & her babe and Wanda and her babes are having happy holidays.Be wise and careful of your strength, dear lover of rivers and skies and trees. We want to see you strong when you come back.We shall be here again about August. And you? Jean sends you a big hug and a kiss. We are going to fix a little tree for her to-night. She says heaps of words and walks nicely if we hold one hand.Much love from us all.Charlotte[1]Carmel, 24th DecemberDearest friend of oursOur greeting comes to you late because we have been in the midst of quarantines and fumigations and general difficulties these last two weeks.The day we were to start for London, the good nurse with whom Jean was to stay here in this little cabin to avoid a shutin London winter, came down with Erysipelas. Vernon had already left for S. F., but my brother caught him at the station. I quarantined the house, put in a trained nurse and doctor and bundled my precious off to Oakland to mother\u27s. Since then we have been waiting to see that Mrs. C.05134 [2]was perfectly all right. We have gotten a house for her around the corner, where she is now up and nearly well, have fumigated these premises, and are trying to get a much needed rest before braving the January Atlantic.We expect to leave N. Y. now on the 24th, on the Lapland, at this time our precious baby goes along, even though we hate to take her away from Carmel for six months even. But she is fat and strong, and we hope will not suffer too much from the big city. We shall try to live as far outside it as possible.V. L. K. is in front of the fire[3]going over proof of a little book he wrote hurriedly this fall to prove that if we knew anything about biology we shouldn\u27t shoot each other to pieces in battles any more. He sends you cordial greetings and best wishes for your every happiness in the New Year.Where are you now? And how are you? We think and wonder so often. We have your splendid letter of September twentieth from Para, and love wandering between the bossy banks of the Amazon with you. Do send us another, or at least a card as soon as you can. our address will be care of American Express Company Haymarket Londo

Letter from Charlotte [H. Kellogg] to [John Muir], [1911 ?] May 25.

[4]I am eager to see your Yosemite book, the Atlantic articles have been delightful, so filled with your big heart and your keenest seeing of things. I love your always seeing the funny side too. Vernon says to send his warmest greetings and to say he will visit soon.I want to hear from Helen, must write her as soon as I can. I hop most of the day, but I hop merrily. The university has given Vernon leave from December 1911 till Sept 1912, and he wants to go to the British Museum for part of it & wants us to go. Will you go too, if we make it? The babe sends a big hug and we our warmest love to you.Charlotte[1]Carmel, Thursday25th MayVer dearest friendI\u27ll snatch these few minutes before Charlotte-Jean wakes for her broth to send you our thanks for your letter and our good wishes for the journey which we wish we might be taking with you, not that we want to go to South America with Jean, but that we want to be with you!And I must say the word South lures me. I hope some day, some where to get warm. We05021 [2]have been having the rawest, blowyest May imaginable, though not so raw but that I\u27ve had the babe out every day. We plan to go to the Sierras in August, that is if all goes well. I wish it were Sahara instead of Sierra. Arn\u27t the nights terribly cold, especially this year of deep snows?Vernon has written to Mr. Price at Fallen Leaf Lake above Tahoe and we may go there.I have been getting on famously doing all the housework and taking entire care of the babe. We have had unhappy times the[3]last six days because the upper teeth wont cut through. I might add nights too, but to-day things go better. She seems not to have that nasty pain and is eating, and sleeping just now, as I told you, pink as a peony.I waited a day or two before writing hoping I would have a snap shot of her at ten monmths to send you. But you couldn\u27t find her on it. She wiggled and the result is a blur.Vernon has come for his summer holiday, though I wonder why he calls it that for he began to write forthwith

Letter from Charlotte [H. Kellogg] to John Muir, 1912 Mar 12.

[4]just that way?She was a good little traveler, despite the rough voyage and has given us no great anxiety. I have an English nurse come in from ten till six to take her for her airings and to leave me free to go to the museums as I often do with Mr. Kellogg, or to visit the too numerous galleries and fascinating theaters. She will stay, too, if we wish to go out in the evening.We are a half hour from the museums, in St. John\u27s Wood, where the air is much better than in the city, a loss of time for us, but fine for Jean. She is starting out now for Regent\u27s Park to feed the ducks, which she Remember everything you have seen and done. We must have it all!c/o American Express company [1]London12 March 1912[letterhead]Dearest friend,The most wonderful and beautiful surprise that ever happened to a wee Jean--this too generous Christmas gift! It came yesterday just after we had been wondering where you were, whether you were being tempted further and further on, or were turning your steps westward again.Helen said you had been in South Africa. but that your next address would be California so I am sending this to her.I am glad for some reason05158 [2]that you are going back to California (this blanket fog this morning is one of them) but wouldn\u27t it have been fine if you could have come this way and we could all have taken a little trip to Scotland together? We should have gone to Dunbar and after that you should have been unquestioned guide.I mean unquestioned as to the places we were to go, but certainly not after we arrived there!Vernon plans to go to Aberdeen to see Professor Arthur Thompson, but I am afraid I can not go along. If I should, I should want so much to run over to Dunbar[3]to carry news of you. But as I say, it is not certain that I can go.Jean, the bonny darling, is getting on very well. She was slow in starting to walk, but now we believe it was her dramatic sense that partly held her back. She saved it till the day we should establish ourselvesin London lodgings, and then while we were sitting perhaps a little dejectedly (it was so cold those first days) in the midst of our luggage, she stood up and faltered toward a chair, her eyes big and excited, and after she achieved it she called out, Why, Jean! Wasn\u27t it splendid of her to begin [8]been short. From here we are to go to Paris for May and June. Then Vernon comes back to London for the Universities Congress and the Eugenics Congress in July - perhaps we come with him, but that is not settled - and he is supposed to stay on for the Second International Entomological Congress to be held in Oxford in August. That would mean his having an added leave, of a month perhaps. He has not planned so far ahead yet.You will be with Helen at first. Isn\u27t Muir a darling chubby boy? We have a little snap shot of him. And Wanda is to have another child, perhaps has a little girl or boy by this[5][in margin: time. I hope everything goes well with her. Give her my love and take a great deal from us all for yourselfCharlotte]loves doing better than anything else. She sends you a hug and many kisses you best friend to her. She is to have several presents out of her Christmas gift, and perhaps have some of it put in the bank for her. The first thing will be a pretty little English hat with posies on it. Then a little green coat, and a little white dress to go underneath it! Can you see her in them? I want to go and get them this minute, but shall restrain myself for a full week, perhaps two, to be sure not to make a mistake. Her father is to help choose the hat. There, you should be along too!English people are most05158 [6]hospitabl, as you know. We should be dining out every night almost, if we were not here for something else.We took our first day away yesterday, when we went to Oxford to visit Professor Poulton, and enjoyed every hour of it. There were four other guests besides us, among them Professor and Mrs. Meldola, then there were people in besides. Vernon enjoyed most the men\u27s dinner at Jesus College With all its old ceremonial and beautiful picture. I was allowed to go along with Professor Poulton and Prof. Meldola and Vernon[7]to the laboratory for an hour when they were looking at hundreds of beautiful African butterflies and seeing the changes mimicry wrought in them.We are to dine next with the Festing Joneses--he is the at present much revived Samuel Butler\u27s Boswwell!--and his sister calls him Hoppy !We met Mrs. Pennell the other day and liked her better than almost anybody we had met, etc., etc., etc.But I shall leave other things for another letetr, or until we meet. May that be soon!With this week, half of our London stay will be over. Which doesn\u27t seem believable, it ha
