Transcription:
THROOP INSTITUTE PASADENA, CALIFORNIA PRESIDENT'S ROOM June 23, 1909. John Muir, Esq., LL.D., Martinez, California.
My dear Dr. Muir: On returning from Europe the other day I found an autograph copy of your book Stikeen . I had already
read the volume, and prize the oppertunity of having as mine a copy from the author's kind hands. As I wrote to our mutual
friend, Mr. Vroman, I look upon Stikeen as the finest dog story that has ever come my way; and I think I have read the most
of them, from John Brown to Mark Twain. I find that Mr. Vroman has also put a portrait of you in my office. I appreciate its
presence here,but would prefer the original. I shall look forward with keen pleasure to an early meeting. Yours most sincerely,
