Transcription:
letterhead Miles Glacier, Copper River. Aug. 17, 1910. Mr John Muir, Dear Sir, Mr Hawkins has told me of your contemplated
visit to the Copper River glaciers and I am writing to offer my services in visiting some of the glaciers and in entertaining
you at my camp if you find it possible to visit me either here or at my Baird Glacier camp. Mr O'Neal of the camp will be
able to tell by telephone just where I am at the time of your visit. I have been studying and mapping these ice tongues this
summer and last for the National Geographic Society and have much to tell you of the Y illegible Bay and Prince William Sound
glaciers as they have advanced and retreated since your visit in 1899. Do you know of the beautiful 8200 foot peak about Serpentine
glacier in Harriman Fiord which has been named Mt Muir? Cordially yours, Lawrence Martin 04850
