The January Atlantic has not long been before the public, but we are hearing all sorts of pleasant things about your paper that constitutes the best part of it. The newspaper comment on articles of this sort is too likely to be perfunctory, and the more significant things that we hear come by word of mouth and in private letters. I send you this as my New Year greeting, and to express the hope that the next paper will be along at as early a time …

Dear Mr. Muir:

The work in the field is at an end for the present season, and I am now busy preparing my report. Two alternatives present themselves for the treatment of the reserved public timber lands. One is to reserve all suoh lands at one blow by refusing to allow any forest lands of the United States to be disposed of hereafter. This course would probably require Congressional action, and it is by no means certain that such action could be obtained. The other …

I sincerely hope you will undertake the work soon, and that you will extend it to the collection of your magazine articles also. These last, of course, are in more or less permanent form already, and are to some degree accessible. But the freshness and charm of the others will be lost forever if you do not take them in hand.
