Transcription:
letterhead November 9, 1903. Mr. John Muir, California, Dear Sir: Two of my children (sister of 25 years and brother
of 24) visited California this year, and while in San Francisco heard a rumor of a proposed colony at Muir: possibly a colony
in which you are interested. Can you give me information about it? My family would like to live in a neighborhood or colony
along with the John Muir , and it is possible that we could in the not remote future arrange to transfer our home form this
to that side of the continent. My son has just obtained his medical diploma from the University of Pennsylvania. One daughter
is a teacher, and another is fitting herself to be a trained nurse. A third daughter is at home with her mother. It was your
Mountains of California that took my children across the continent this summer, and that gave them incentive and courage to
walk 140 miles over the hills, sleeping where night found them, and enjoying the one grand summer vacation of their lives.
Yours, respectfully, S. Edward Paschall. 03306
