Transcription:
My Dear Mr. Muir:- Your letter, sketch of your life, and book - Mountains of California were received yesterday - It was
certainly a very pleasant surprise and gave me much pleasure- I thank you very much for your very kind letter, sketch and
book - which I will all read as soon as time will permit, and know I will enjoy it much. You certainly knew great many of
my father's friends - he carried on a correspondence with all the botanists you mentioned - and we have their letters now
- I too regret that you and my father never met- I feel sure he would have enjoyed knowing you - perhaps sometime you will
come this way again- Then you must call and make his daughters a visit - Thanking you again for your much appreciated letter
- sketch of life and book I am most Sincerely Yours Augusta Gottinger May 21- 1907 40 Academy Place Nashville Tennessee
