As the lands of the olive and the vine have ever figured prominently in the history of Old World letters, it is not unreasonable to expect that California, with her tropical sun and gorgeous coloring, will add lustre to the literature of America. Perhaps I have dwelt too strongly upon scenic grandeur as a factor of literary growth, but vast forests, Sargent's Silva. ffffafX JJU Jffa icy summits, sombre canons, and beetling cliffs must stimulate the imaginative powers, aud lead to creative effort.

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

June 2, 1903.

My dear Mr. Muir:

I regret very much that I was not here when you called on Friday; I wanted to see you before you sailed and especially to take up the book question with you. The situation has changed very much since we published the "Mountains of California" nearly ten years ago, and there are several things which we should do differently now. It was an experiment to put out such a volume, with fifty or more pictures scattered through the text, and sell it for one dollar and fifty cents retail - the price of …

Los Angeles. Cal. April 25th 1903.

Dear John Muir:

I hope the "Glaciers" have by this time made their way to the encyclopedic sea, and broken off and drifted away, leaving you footloose. I have just this morning mailed my article on California to the same office--and it has made me hump this week to put so much California into so small a pinhole as ten thousand words.
I am mighty glad you are going to the Yosemite with the President, part of my consolation being that he can't lose_you as easily as he did Brother Burroughs in the Yellowstone. …

My dear Muir:

You will need a passport from the State Department at Washington in order to get into Russia at all. I cannot help you about this as it has to be applied for personally. What you have to do is to find a notary public in San Francisco, answer such questions as he will ask you about yourself, and then he will do the rest. There are notary publics in every city who make a business of procuring passports. I advise you to ask Mr. Alvord about this. …

Dr. C. Rowell,
Sacramento, Gal.

My dear Sir:-

The High Sierra is always open and hospitable to Mountaineers afoot, but with pack animals nearly all the region above an elevation of 7000 or 8000 feet is inaccessible until about the end of June. If the Presidents trip must be short, and be made in April or May I agree with you that he had better go to Yosemite by public conveyance. And from the Valley as a central camp, excursions could be made afoot to high points around the rim commanding general views of the …

Mr. John Muir,

My Dear Sir:

From private advices from Washington I learn that President Roosevelt is desirous of taking a trip in the high Sierras during his visit to California, and has expressed a wish to go with you. practically alone. I am aware that April or May will be too early in the season to permit of a wry extended trip in the higher altitudes, but if the visit should be in the middle or the latter part of May one might be able to go beyond Yosemite or even Into the …

It was with a feeling of disappointment that I read your letter of the 13th. We must of course await the completion of the manuscript and we shall hope that you may yet see your way to have it ready in time for autumn publication. In the meantime it has occurred to us that possibly the material for some other volume may have accumulated on your hands. If so, I sincerely hope you will let us have an opportunity to consider …

[First draft of letter,in note-book]

[January, 1903].

Mr.Frank H.Scott,
The Cent[ury] Co.,
Union Sq., N.Y.

Dear Sir:

I am getting on very slowly with the little Yosemite book on account of so many other time-killing things. I had hoped to get it off my hands this winter or spring in time for fall publication, but now fear I shall not on account of so many other time-killing things pressing against me. Anyhow I'll let you know when it is done.
Thanking you for your kind interest in my work, I am,

Respectfully yours,
[John.Muir]
