in margin: RUJ c illegible 80 Martinez, Sep 12, 1902 Dear Mr Johnson I'll not send you anything much if at all on the
Kern Canon over 4000 words. If I cant squeeze it into that size I'll let some of the other mags have it. I've made no definite
arrangement with Keith for sketches, nor will I. He went through the canon with me made a number of sketches that I thought
good. perhaps I'll get one or two from him to offer you, if not deemed? available simply send them back to me. He never does
this sort of work now except as friendly favors. His income now is seldom less than 50,000 a year Has more money than he knows
what to do with. Yet paints most industriously.
