WILLIAM W. ELLSWORTH PRESDENST November 11, 1913 Mr. John Muir, Martinez, California. My dear Mr. Muir: We are preparing
a small volume of geographical stories for use as a sup-plementary reader in schools, to be made up of sketches by various
authors which have appeared in our magazines and books, and we would like to include three extracts from The Mountains of
California - A Winter Scene in the Yosemite, The Mountains of California, and The Forests. In order to adapt these for a children's
reading book it has been necessary to simplify them to some extent. Would you like to see proofs? and may we have your permission
to use the material? Sincerely yours, illegible
