OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT FOR THE PEOPLE FOR EDUCATION FOR SCIENCE THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY NEW YORK
23 September,1912 My dear Mr. Muir: I found your welcome letter of July 2nd on my return. You will be glad to hear that
all the Osborns are splendidly well, especially Mrs, Osborn who comes back from our tour through the historic caverns of Europe
in better health and spirits than ever. It has now proved impossible to get any permit from Madame Hancock Ross for any institutions
outside of California, but Dr. Merriam who has the matter in charge has promised to give us some of the duplicates. It is
the best we can do. I hope that you are well and happy and have in mind making another visit to your loving friends the Osborns.
Faithfully Yours, illegible Mr. John Muir. 05278
