Transcription:
letterhead Oyster Bay, N.Y. August 18, 1905. My dear Mr, Muir: I do not like to intrude upon your grief, but I wish
you to know how deeply I sympathize with you. There is nothing that I can say that will be of any comfort. Get out among the
mountains and the trees, friend, as soon as you can. They will do more for you than either man or woman could. Faithfully
yours, Theodore Roosevelt Mr. John Muir, Martinez, Cal. 00209
