There are some splendid mountains west of the Del Norte; and
it was while encamped, with one servant, among them, that I wrote
these lines. I pity the man who cannot feel the influence of sunset
among the mountains. Were I given to a belief in presentiments
and sympathies, I might strengthen that belief by referring
to these lines. My sister died in March, and they were written in
April of the same year.
