letterhead August 28, 1890. My dear Mr. Muir: Welcome to your adopted country Supposing that you will arrive at home
about the time this letter reaches California, I send herewith our check in payment for your two articles, including also
the use of your sketches. Very sincerely yours, R.U. Johnson I hope you will be able to go to the King's River Canon
diacritic for I want to have a bill introduced to reserve it - (Can you send me a description of desirable limits?) and second
I want to give Robinson something to do. He is hard up and he is going to make the sketches. (OveR)
