Transcription:
November 6th, 1893. R.W.GILDER, EDITOR. R.U.JOHNSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. C. C. BUEL, ASSISTANT EDITOR. Mr. John Muir,
Martinez, California. My dear Muir:- I am very much chagrined that this should be the first line you have had from me
after leaving you at the Chicago Junction. I tried to get another interview with you at the Fair, but it was of no use. My
engagements with Mrs. Johnson took me into other quarters at the time when I might have seen you. However, the Fair was no
place for sociability, and as I only staid five days in all you can fancy that I had my hands full. I hope you enjoyed your
additional time there, and that on your return you found Mrs. Muir and the children well and happy. In a few days I will
write you in regard to the Alaska article, to which I am giving attention, and perhaps in regard to the forestry question.
Mrs. Johnson was sorry not to meet you in Chicago, and I am, as ever, Faithfully yours, R. U. Johnson 01743
