My Dear Mr. Muir.

I had read certain commendatory notices of your new book, & was thinking to go to Chicago for a copy, when I found my wish met by your thoughtful kindness. I give you hearty thank for the work which now. (to [illegible] four notices at "H[illegible]sea Biglow") on the [illegible] shelf with my "Mountains of California" I can let be upset". Some of the papers - articles rather which re-appear in this volume I had read in the "Atlantic Magazine", but not all. They interest me as few novels do. I seem …

My dear Sir,

My last installment of "Baby Roland Booklets", printed and original, leaves by even mail. I trust that you consider the entire let the equivalent of your very kind order. I wish that more were being printed, and that you could receive a wider range of effects of my work. But if you are a man who fraternizes with the Seouoia, it is not the bulk that overawes you, it is the majesty. And so it shall be the sweetness of my booklets that assesses their worth. …

Rest assured I shall be with you December 1st if I can possibly find a way through the confounded tangle of obligations that holds me here. I see no opening however as yet, or anything that promises one, therefore, much as it destresses me to seem wanting in appreciation of the Kindness and honor of your invitation, I must warn you not to count on me.
After escaping the common dangers of the wilderness, these kind invitations and honors of civilization are like to be the death of me, for from some …

My Dear Mr. Muir

I recently read your article on the Grand Canon [diacritic] of the Colorado and am prompted thereby to write you, expressive of my appreciation of your description of that wonderful scene. I am free to confess that I never read a descriptive article before, that compares with it, not even in Walter Scott's writings which I have always considered unequalled in that line= But yours excells everything- so that I hardly knew which to admire most- the grandeurs of the subject or the masterly way in which it is pictured to the …

Dear Mr. Biedenbach;

I thank you heartily for your kind and flattering letter of the 12th. If any thing could draw me out of my winter den, it would be an Aroor Day celebration; But as yet I cansee no opening through the midst of my many literary engagements, and of course cannot promise to be with you.
As to the tree you propose to plant, the two Sequoias are favorites of mine. The sempervirens would, I think be most likely to thrive at Berkeley.

Many thanks for your kind and stirring letter. If I could get writing done as you can, you would soon see a dozen or so of my new books. Your literary work goes forward with admirable steadiness and sustained strength, mine try as I may, goes slow as a glacier and with none of it's steadiness, as if the whole scribbling business were against God's will.

Dear Mr. Muir:

The Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe Railway people have written us inquiring if they might publish in the form of a pamphlet your article in the November Number on "The Grand Canon of Colorado" They admire it very much and wrote some time ago about it. We suggested that they purchase the magazine entire, but this would cost too much. Do you see any objection to our acceding to their request? It may be that they would pay a charge sufficient to …

Brooklyn, Nov. 14, 1902.

Mr. John Muir:

Dear Sir: You have done a service in the cause of literature, science and the American people in your description of the Colorado cañon in the Century. Won't you add to it by dropping a line to the President, urging on him the necessity for preserving that region as a national park? It would be easy to do that now, but after Arizona has been divided among half a million miners, lumbermen, ranchmen, farmers and speculators, difficult or impossible. The whole world elsewhere has not its equal, and the …

Dear Mr. Muir,

Though I fear you may think me importunate, I cannot help inquiring again about the progress of the other books. I can hardly suppose that the monetary success of your National Parks book was sufficient to urge you to the completion of others, but the book itself was so much worth while that I hope it has stirred you to go on. At any rate its substantial value has given a great deal of pleasure to many readers, who I fancy are looking forward, as I am, with a very strong interest to your …

I was very sorry to miss seeing you this summer, either in the mountains, or when you stopped at Fresno. I was near meeting you several times. The "Boole tree" - the large sequoia you visited with Dr. Kelley, - many rangers say, after examining the lines, is on the Sanger Lumber Co's lands; some 300 yards (one report makes the distance less) from the Reserve line. It would be good if the title could be secured from the lumber Co.. I was talking last week …
