Transcription:
MS E902 MU Martinez, California May 30, 1913. Miss Mary E. Stewart Milwaukee Wis. Dear Miss Stewart: I sincerely
thank you for your kind review of my little book and for tidings of your brother whom I knew well in the auld lang syne of
our student days. As we grow old we cling all the more fondly to our old friends, I'm always glad to hear from them. I came
to California from Havana Cuba in 1868 by way of the isthmus of Panama instead of the Plains, though in my studies, I have
crossed the continent many times. Should I find time to continue my autobiographical notes a good many volumes may be published.
With kind regards for your brother I am faithfully yrs John Muir
