ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Jamaica Plain,Mass., JUly 12, 1909. My dear Muir: I am writing to tell you that
our traveling companion illegible Is engaged to be married to a Miss de Acosta of New York, a very attractive young lady of
Spanish origin. He expects to be married in November and is to live on the place in Brookline. How are you getting on and
particularly how is your daughter? I hope improved by her stay in Arizona. I was in to see Houghton, Mifflin Company the
other day and they gave me a copy of your dog story. I have read it again with delight. It seemed to me better than ever.
Houghton Mifflin have hopes of another book or books from you. Are you working on them and how are you getting on with them?
Do not delay too long for time is passing and there is no time like the present for work. Please remember me to your daughters,
and believe me. always, dear Muir, Faithfully yours, illegible John Muir, Esq., Martinez, Cal. 04544
