Transcription:
WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON. March 14, 1903. My dear Mr. Muir: Through the courtesy of President Wheeler I have already
been in communication with you, but I wish to write you personally to express the hope that you will be able to take me through
the Yosemite. I do not want anyone with me but you, and I want to drop politics absolutely for four days and just be out in
the open with you. John Burroughs is probably going through the Yellowstone Park with me, and I want to go with you through
the Yosemite. Sincerely yours, illegible John Muir, Esq., Care of President Benj.Ide Wheeler, University of California,
Berkeley, Cal. 03184
