Transcription:
Amesbury, Mass. Jan 3. 1913- Mr. John Muir: I have always been greatly interested in all you have written. My brother
Prof. Joseph C. Pickard used to talk about you so much, before I found you in print. I wonder if my brother is remembered
by you. He was Prof. in the University of Wisconsin, another brother, Josiah L. Pickard, 05365 2 was one of the Regents
of the University, also Supt. of the Schools of the State. I thought it possible that there was a reference to my brother
in the Feb. No. of the Atlantic. He is not now living, but the older brother Josiah is still alive in 89th year, at Cupertino,
Cal. Joseph's enthusiasm whenever he spoke of you, that was often, always impressed me. I am Whittier's biographer, am living
in his Amesbury house. Very truly yours S. T. Pickard 05365
