[letterhead]Mch 4, 1908My dear Muir.The enclosed letter I received Monday. I hardily liked the tone of it, tho' Vroman did not seem to place the same force [to?] the objectionable sentence that I did. I wrote Calkins and quoting the sentence marked on first page of his letter (read it), I said I did not underdstand that any arrangement was made at my house, but only a talk to determine whether an arrangement along certain lines could be made, and that you were to take the matter under consideration, & determine later, after you had been home, and seen how …

Dear Mr Lummiss:

I find that writing postal orders, checks, letters etc for worthy causes far & near takes up nearly all my time leaving only broken scraps for my own work. Therefore I am trying to cut loose from half or more of the societies I belong to. Here is a check for $20. After this last money is spent on dues cut off my subscriptions to Indian & Archeological Societies & believe me nevertheless

We have here In the herbarium very unsatisfactory material of the California Walnut which, as you Know, does not grow very far from your house; at least we drove to it once in a comparatively short time. I am rather interested in the matter, for it seems possible that the little bush in southern California with small nuts may be a different species from your tree. Would n't it be possible for you to press for me some good flowering specimens this spring when the trees are in bloom …
