Transcription:
Martinez April 18. 1883. Dear Miss Shin? I am lost choked in agricultural needs am almost beyond the memory even of
literary work so that much as I should like to give you the article you want I am not able or nearly able to do so. Work is
coming upon me from near far at present I cannot see how I am to escape its degrading illegible effects. Get some one to write
an article on the vice? of over-industry, it is greatly needed in these times of horticultural storms. Ever yrs truly John
Muir. on envelope: Monthly Overland 120 illegible Miss Millicent Shinn? , 408 California St. San Francisco.
