Transcription:
jamaica Plain,Mass.,January...13.....1899 Dear Muir: Redwood and Sugar Pine photographs--how are these to be had for enlargement
into transparencies for the Museum in New York where these two friends of yours ought to appear to the best advantage? Do
not some of The:young men in your Sierra Club take good photographs of trees or forest scenes? It would be practically impossible
to get a photograph of either an isolated Sugar Pine or Redwood that would do justice to these trees.Possibly somebody has
taken a distant view of a grove of Sugar Pines or a nearby view of one of the trunks.In the case of the Redwood we shall have
to be contented, I suppose,with illegible view taken in the forest showing several stems. I do not know if such photographs
exist, or,if they do not, how to get them. Faithfully yours,C.S. illegble John Muir, Esq. MartInez, Cal.
