Dear Mr. Muir:

I was greatly pleased the other day to receive your charming book "The Mountains of California". I am only slightly acquainted with that beautiful state and shall enjoy reading of its varied and wonderful scenes and the fascinating animal life within its borders, — all the more, too, through the element of personality that the book now possesses for me as a gift from yourself. Two summers ago I camped in the San Bernardino Mts and for a short while enjoyed the company of Mr. Lukens of Pasadena, who, like myself, was …

Dear Mr Muir,

On my return from your pleasant home last Wednesday I found my sister's family quarantined with diphtheria and my two little folks in the care of a friend at the hotel. The patient was my nephew a student at Stanford who was sent home sick that day. On this account I have come here for a few days but leave for Pacific Grove tomorrow where I want to put in at least a month of bird study before going to Lake Tahoe

Your reassuring note of the 10th of May as to the length of the article on the Grand Canon interests us very much from the statement it contains that you have a great deal of material on the subject. Our publishers are particularly interested, and they desire me to say to you that if you have the material for a book which could also be made a practicable guide-book, by means of appendices, etc., we should like to …

My dear Johnson

I'll not overpass the limit you set for the canon article though the subject is of a kind & size not easily comprised. I'll do my best however to make a clear sketch. No doubt it will be miserably lean & scrawny no matter how hard I try. I could write a [fan?] sized book from the notes I've already collected easier than this gnarly article, Perhaps I may some day. Anyhow Ive enjoyed the study of that grand river & its basin. Ever yours

Parrish has Just been in, and is wondering whether you know any legends connected with the Grand Canon. He is thinking of making an illustration of a little more romantic character than the ordinary set drawing.Of course there will be some of the latter kind also from unique points of view, but there will probably be only four pictures in all.
I hope you will not take this article too hard. We want it for the November number, but the illustrations must be made very …
