Transcription:
(Apr. 16, 1912) letterhead John Muir Martinez, California Dear Mr Muir: Early in Feb. I wrote you not knowing that
you were in S. America. I am told by your friends in Los Angeles that you are now at home advised to write again. This is
the subject. We have now almost completed a very handsome set of portraits letters of the 71 members of the American Academy
of Arts and Letters. We have an excellent full page portrait of you and are very much in need of a few lines from you to
mount with it in this Literary set. will you kindly allow us to have just a few lines from you in reply to this to place
opposite your portrait in the volume? The subject matter is not important, only a greeting of half a dozen lines will be of
great value to us. Almost all these little letters are one-page illegible (to face the portraits) the only essential is that
they be your own writing not type-written. May we beg of you just a few lines we will be under obligations. Most cordially
Sincerely, Chas. Elmer Rice Apr. 16 1912 05176
