letterhead Sep. 4 1905 Dear Mr President: Many thanks for your good Samaritan letter. Caring for me in the midst of
so great a throng of heavy affairs is most touchingly friendly kind. How great a work for peace fair play God is giving you
to do, how nobly you are doing it.- building a monument of Heaven's simple unchangeable foundational righteousness in the
sight of all nations. Truly blessed are the peacemakers. At home all hearts are yours, abroad how many millions more. Warm
congratulations. Faithfully Yours John Muir
