Transcription:
July 17, 1901. Dear Mr. Muir, NOw that we have got your book at arte d to the process of manufacture,the usual questions
come up as to whether we are to have Introduction or prefaoe and index.A prefatory note at illegible seems to me desirable
in order to point out one or two general changes which have taken place in the parks since the greater number of your artides
were written,such as the addition of one to the Index,to every book there 'oeing five now instead of four.As to the Index,
though I am not one of those who think there should be an Index to every book, I can see advantages about an Index to your
volume.But we aa.r74 should be guided entirely by your prefer, ences in the matter.If there is to be an Index you would doubtess
prefer to make it yourself, so as to be sure of having it entirely satisfactory to you. Sincerely yours, n.b.parker.
Mr. John Muir. 02876
