Transcription:
letterhead July 20th 1892. Professor John Muir Martinez Dear Sir I am planning with a friend an excursion into Kings
River Canon, hoping to be able to ascend Mt. Tyndall. As we desire to learn as much of the country before hand as possible,
I write to ask if you could refer me to where I could find plate 67 B D? of Wheeler s Maps, which includes this region. Inquiry
at the Coast Survey was not satisfactory as their set was incomplete. I hope that I do not trespass upon your indulgence in
making this inquiry Your recent article in the Century has induced me to apply to you. Very respectfully yours, Elliott
McAllister. 01587
