Transcription:
letterhead Jan 25 97 My dear Mr. Muir Your kind and appreciative note on the Tehipite article is at hand. I am glad
you are pleased with it, and am also glad you find it too short rather than too long. I realize with astonishment the remarkable
feat of your first trip to Tehipite and back in those days without food. I am sure I never was capable of such a feat even
if I could have known the way thoroughly. I should probably have strayed widely from the course. I shall look forward sometime
before long to the pleasure of visiting you at Martinez when opportunity offers to a busy man, and will give you due warning
of my threatened invasion Sincerely yours J M Stillman 02226
