Hotel Netherland, New York, June 5, 1903. Dear Mr Muir: I enclose the letter which may be of some benefit to you and hope
that you will advise us of your arrival at the end of your railroad journey in the Far East. I regret that I cannot be one
of your companions in your interesting trip. This is the second day upon which I have dressed and walked about, and even
have been driving in the Park, So you see I am progressing very well. Wishing you and Mr Sarqeul every success in your undertaking,
Believe me, Yours sincerely, ILLEGIBLE Mr, John Muir, San Fnancisco, Cal, 03259
