Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Jamaica Plain, Mass.,January 28, 1899 My dear Muir; Yours of the 23rd with photographs
have just come.I am delighted to have your portrait in such good company as the Sitka Spruce. I am in hopes that Lemmon's
photograph of the Sugar Pine will answer our purpose,although I cannot tell until I hear from the man in Washington who makes
the transparencies.It would be a good thing to have in this series of transparencies a good view in the forest of Abies magnifica.We
already have two transparencies of the Big Tree but still need the Redwood. Mrs.Sargent is much better and out again,and
I am improving although I feel much more like having a talk with you about trees than like digging away at the supplement
of The Silva which promises to be a tremendous affair before it is done. Johnson's brother seems to have made a tiptop speech
in Washington,although I have not read it.I am very sorry to hear he is not going back to the House. Faithfully yours,C.S.
illegible John Muir, Esq. Martinez, Cal.
