Transcription:
March 13, 1899. R. W. GILDER, EDITOR. R. u. JOHNSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. C. C. BUEL, ASSISTANT EDITOR. My dear Muir,
You and I had some talk or correspondence at one time concerning the Mt. Rainier reserve, which has just been made a national
park. I think-but would not say positively- that you gave us some sort of expectation that you would write on the subject
for the magazine. Certainly we have declined two or three articles on the topic on the supposition that if we ever had a paper
on hat it should be from you. Have you treated this subject for the Atlantic, or is it to be in the series you are writing
for them? If not, how would you like to prepare an article on that topic for The Century, with the best procurable illustrations,
and some account of your.adventures in climbing the mountain? Yours faithfully R.u.Johnson Associate Editor. Mr.John
Muir, Martinez, California.
