letterhead March 15 1913 Dear Mr Muir: I have just proposed Dr. Charles F. Holden for membership in the National Institute
of Arts and Letters, his work is ichthyology and the charm with which he has written of out-door life, qualify him. And we
want more members from the Pacific Coast. The by-laws require three proposers. I believe you know Mr Holder and I hope you
will be willing to be one of his proposers. If so will you write to Mr Henry D. Sedgwick c/o Robert J. Johnson, The Century
Magazine? At the 05396
