Transcription:
Martinez June 4, 1913 Dear Mr Calkins: Many thanks for your long kind letter I often thought of you in your orange grove
home hoped the killing frost of last winter had hurt you but lightly as your place is so near the mountain foothills. I wish
our homes were fewer miles apart. All my notes - a huge pile are here- the gatherings of a lifetime, it's hard to move, only
six volumes published as yet out of material for more than a hundred. Am now at work on my Alaska travels, and as soon as
they are off my hands I mean to write another autobio volume. With all good wishes for yourself family I am ever faithfully
yours John Muir 09214
