Transcription:
Stockton, Feby. 9 - 1903 221 E. Acacia St. Mr. John Muir Martinez, Calif. Dear Sir and Friend: I send you by separate
package another copy of the picture I made of you. It is the very best I have been able to get from the negative, which has
since been tinkered and spoiled. I hope I may have your permission to try again some time. My land application will be approved
this month so the Surveyor General writes me and I will soon own a part of the Sierras myself. I hope to build a cabin on
it this summer where I can retire when I periodically grow sick of civilization. Yours sincerely Edward Hughes. 03161
