Transcription:
449 Martinez June 12, 1914 Houghton Mifflin Company: in margin: illegible Dear Sirs: The Alaska book will be only
notes of travel. There will probably be several volumes to be included in the autobiography series. I have a large number
of sketches photographs for illustrations. Mr Gleason will not be likely to obtain many that would be required, as he will
not be able in a single season to trace my canoe tracks. I made seven trips in Alaska, one of them in the Arctic regions.
I hope to finish the volume in hand this year. Have been grippe sick all last winter spring of course making slow stupid progress.
Still I hope the thing may be readable. 26 Faithfully Yours, John Muir in margin: illegible 6
