Faculty Club, Berkeley July 12, 1906 My dear Mr. Muir, I have come out to this region as a member of the Earthquake
Commission, and find that we are not very far apart. It has been a long time since I have seen you. Mr. Reid I were much distressed
by the bad news in your letter last winter, and I have been wanting to write you ever since; but you know how easy it is to
neglect writing. 03750
