First draft of letter, in note-book Martinez, Jan. 28, '05. Mrs. Marion Emerson Jamieson, 834 Mallard St., Los Angeles,
Cal. Dear Madam: I am delighted to hear from you again. I have often wondered what had become of you. Like yourself, I
look back with great pleasure to our meeting at the Grand Canyon, and will be very happy to visit your Fellowship on my first
opportunity, but I am hard at work and it may be long before I will be able to go to Los Angeles, though I have many friends
there. If you come up this way I hope you will remember your promise to call at our. house. Congratulating you on the good
work you find to do, Faithfully yours, John Muir
