Mr John Muir,

Dear friend,

Previous to the great fire in San-Francisco, April 18th 1906. I had collected a large Album full of the Press notices, pictures and writings &c concerning yourself and Mr Keith, from the very beginning of your careers in America, down to that time. Mrs Keith had loaned it from his Studio, to Mrs Anna Pratt Simpson, and it was his impression, that she had returned it, if so, it was probably then destroyed. Since then, I have made another

With his friend of early days,
Ere one with brush and one with pen,
Each went his separate ways,
To fine for aye on the souls of men
Wherever they have been,
