2 company did not do half as well by me the mountains as I think the should. I'm not bound to give them this or any other
book I may write on their own terms. 2 The California Tree shrub book was suggested by Merriam last summer, but I have already
written so fully on forest trees their underbrush I'm not sure that I can make another book about them Possibly a handy volume
with short telling descriptions illustrations of each species enabling the ordinary observer to know them at sight might be
welcomed. This if undertaken will probably be done season after next, you shall have the first sight of it. 3 Next should
come a Mountaineering book - all about walking, climbing camping, with a lot of illustrative excursions. 4 Alaska,- glaciers,
forests, mt'ns travels etc. 02937
