Transcription:
Martinez, California. (13) Jan. 25, 1903. Dear Mr. Perry: I'm afraid I'll not be able to prepare an article for the
July Atlantic. I want to start on a long trip with Sargent next May, and it will probably be as much or more than I can do
to get the work already undertaken off my hands by that time; for alas my pen is slow,-slow as a glacier. If like Scott or
Lockhart or Kit North I could keep MS sheets flying like ripe leaves in a gale, be assured dear Editor the little article
you want would be on wing to you this very day. Anyhow I'll try to find time for something or other though of course you will
not count on me. Sincerely yours John Muir
