Transcription:
First draft of letter, in note-book 59 (16) Mr. F. B. Millard, 1901 My dear Sir: I heartily thank you for your kind
letter, and for the clipping from the Examiner, though I had seen it at the time of its publication. It is always pleasant
to learn through such appreciative and helpful notices as yours that one's work is not altogether in vain, especially from
men like yourself who know how hard and laborious any sort of honest literary work is. I shall be very glad to see you at
my house any time. I seldom leave home at this time of year. Muir Station on the Santa Fe road is only a few minutes walk
from our house. John Muir 02890
