Transcription:
First draft of letter, in note-nook 59 (14) 1901 Mr. E. Henry Harriman, 1 E. 55th Street, New York. Dear Mr. H arriman
: I heartily thank you for a copy of your magnificent Alaska book and 5 copies of my sketch of the glaciers. The introductory
volumes of general interest are truly magnificent, and with the scientific volumes to follow will make a valuable contribution
to our knowledge of Alaska, afford pleasure and instruction, and spread worldwide the fame of the H.A. E. Harriman Alaskan
Expedition . Never before has the wonderful Alaskan Coast been so superbly illustrated. With kindest regards and a crowd
of pleasant recollections, I am, my dear Sir, Faithfully yours, J. M. 02890
