REAL ESTATE CIRCULAR BR BR TELEPHONE KEARNY 563.5 MONTOGOMERY STREETSAN FRANCISCO,CALIFORNIA. November 20th, 1908. John
Muir, Esq.,MARTINEZ,California. Dear Mr. Muir. The Board of Directors of the University Club have authorized me to write
you in reply to your letter of October 29th. There is nobody in the Club and there never was a member whom we would delight
to honor more than you. Therefore, in consideration of what you have done for the State and for the University Club, the Board
would like to offer you an honorary membership. We would offer you this immediately, except that under our By-Laws honorary
membership cannot be confered by the Board direct. We must go through the formality of submitting your name at the next meeting
of the members, when I am sure we can then unanimously make you this offer. The Board, therefore, hopes that you will withhold
your resignation that we may in this manner keep you continuously with us. Personally I refuse to allow you to sever your
connection with the Club. There is no one in the Club I hold in higher esteem. My only regret has been that you would not
accept a dinner at our hands, that the members might have the privilege of meeting you and knowing you as I know you. With
best wishes, believe me, Sincerely yours, Br Thomas Magee TM-S P.S. Tommy Junior has arrived: Weight 9 1/2 pounds.
