Transcription:
EDITORIAL OFFICE OF THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY 4 PARK ST. BOSTON August 31, 1904. Dear Mr. Muir:- In sending you the half-yearly
accounting of your National Parks , we are glad to remind you of our interest in the other volumes which you have projected.
The record of sales of the Parks for the past six months is not large, but it shows no falling off from the previous half-year
and indicates a good deal of vitality. If our memory serves us correctly you have four new books in process--a Colorado Canon
book, an Alaska book, The Yosemite Valley , and your Autobiography. Your recent journey around the world has probably given
you material for a fifth, and we are glad to assure you of our very hearty interest in them all. In your letter of June 16
you mentioned your purpose to get the little Yosemite book off your hands this summer. We wish you success in carrying out
your plan and shall be glad to have the manuscript in hand for publication in the spring. Yours sincerely, Illegible
John Muir, Esq. 03436
