242 illegible k St., San Francisco Feb. 20 1914. Dear Mr. Muir:- If possible before we sail, March 3rd. we are going
to spend part of a day with you. I would like (if you do not object) to have a little more data for a sketch in our Mid Pacific
Magazine . However, should this be distasteful to you, I'll not write a word. Our people are great lovers of nature, and regard
you with affection- In view of your recent illness and the desirability of a change - wouldn't a trip to Hawaii do you good
I have a big house in the Ch illegible section of Hawaii, some 1000 feet up the mountain-side, in the woods, where I live.
Here on 8 acres rather overgrown I live almost alone. My wife will be east for about a year, my children at school, and you
would be as much alone as you wished, unadvertised and free from intrusion. I keep a boy, and our meals are simple, 05712
