Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. Jamica Plain, Mass., November 19, 1907. Dear Muir: I am very glad to see your
handwriting again and very sorry indeed to hear about your daughter and of your anxiety concerning her. I cannot help hoping,
however, that Arizona will be of permanent service to her. I wish I thought I was going to Mexico this winter. There never
will be a better time because Mr. Shaw, our Pinus expert, is there for several months now with a home in the City of Mexico
and he would be able to show us all the trees, etc. I am afraid, however, that I shall have to stay here at least until the
spring in the hope of being able to get some work done which seems to need doing; in fact work is accumulating on my hands
much more rapidly than I can take care of it; and either it must be done or abandoned. Let me hear how your daughter is getting
on, and believe me, dear Muir, Always faithfully yours, C. S. Sargent John Muir, Esq., Martinez, cal. 03975
