Dear Mr. Muir,

Now that we have got the National Parks book out of hand, will you let me remind you again of the autobiography that we hope for.I trust the irksomeness of getting one book through the press will not weigh upon your spirits heavily enough to prevent your taking up the other.

Yours sincerely,
