Transcription:
Garrisons, N. Y. July 14, 1911. Dear Mr. Putnam: Many thanks for your kind farewell note of July 2. I congratulate you
on your visit to Mt. Rainier, one of my favorite mountains. I had hoped to get a day's quiet visit with you at your home long
'ere this but I have been driven unmercifully in correcting the proof of one book and writing the last quarter of another
one. I recall your Manhattan dinner with the greatest pleasure. It forms one of the finest experiences of the many that I
have enjoyed since leaving California. I expect to leave New York for the Amazon on the 15th of August. Sincere thanks for
your good wishes. May your journey to icey Rainier bring you a glorious share of mountain health and mountain wealth. Faithfully
yours, John Muir.05077
