HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY 4 PARK STREET BOSTON June 24, 1908. Mr. John Mulr, Martinez. Cal. Dear Mr. Muir:- I had
the pleasure of seeing an extremely Interesting photograph yesterday, which was taken by Mr. Herbert W. Gleason. It was entitled
John Muir and Stlckeen. I wonder whether you recall it. With this in my mind I am led to drop you a line in regard to the
manuscript, as ws all are anxious to have the adventure put forth in permanent form. Were you able to get as far ahead on
your literary work at the ranch as you hoped? May we expect to receive Stickeen 04231
