letterhead Dec. 9, 1911 Dear Doctor Muir, It is with very keen regret that I say Goodbye without seeing you again. The
storm kept me from getting out to meet the friends who came on the Turakina, and kept them from getting ashore until so late
that I thought you had gone at two o'clock. I have just learned from Dr. Goding that you did not go until five. Dr. Goding
also told me that you missed your copies of the announcement we published. I am pleased to send you a few more. I also send
some copies of today's El Dia which contains a brief account of your address. And now, as I again say goodbye, may I repeat
the 05131
