Transcription:
449 June 28, 1911. Dear Mr. Muir, The little talk I had with you in our office a few weeks ago was brought to an end
just as I was introducing the subject of Mr Enea Mills's work. I wanted to get your opinion of the accuracy and trustworthings
of his observations. The few times that I have met him he has seemed to in personally a sincere and straightforward man and
he has certainly done excellent work for the cause of forest preservation. I don't know whether you know him at all personally
or not, but if, as I think, you have send his book, Wild Life on the Rocking , and perhaps common his magazine articles, you
can tell the just how you regard him as an observer and loves illegible . I am led to make this inquiry on account of a some
what severe criticism of an article which the wrote on a family of bluebirds for Suburban Life. Would you mind telling me
in confidence what you think of him Yours sincerely John Muir, Esq., 850 Edith Avenue, New York, N. Y.
