THE COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE 1789 BROADWAY NEW YORK CITY John Muir -2- August 7 1905 gladly hailed by me. But, as I cannot
get on top of a skyscraper and preach to the multitude on this subject, I am awfully anxious to get somebody else to do it.
By contracting this stupid city and its dull brick perspective with the woodland wilds in which you pass your time, I think
you could make a fine article, particularly as there is a large back-to-nature sentiment afloat just now. This article would
be about the same length as the other and would be paid in the same proportion. Hoping that you and Mrs. Muir are well, I
remain Sincerely yours, Bailly Milland John Muir, Esq. 03602
