Transcription:
Martinez, California June 11, 1895 My dear Mr Lummis, Thanks for the Land of Sunshine. Please find enclosed subscription
for the same for one year. I have read your little plucky magazine like it. It has the ring look of true literary metal.
So has your letter to me, I doubt not you will be successful. You have a grand field I am sure that with honest purpose hard
work you must gain the day. I thank you for your kind words about my little book for asking me to work for sunshine. I wish
I could write as quickly easily as most writers then you would surely goet more from me than you want. But I am slow awkward
write but little still I'll try to give you something ere long. Ever Cordailly Yours John Muir
