THE WORLD'S WORK FARMING DOUBLEDAY PAGE Co. 134-135-197 EAST 16TH STREET, NEW YORK COUNTRY LIFE IN AMERICA THE
GARDEN MAGAZINE April 23, 1909. My dear Mr. Muir: We want your Yosemite book, which I understand you are at work on
and will finish before you finish your Autobiography, and then we want your Autobiography. I beg to offer now right off the
bat a 15 royalty for each of those books to increase to 20 after 10,000 copies have been sold. Besides that, we will use more
or less of each of them in the magazine, and pay you illegible 150 an article for as much as we can use. Won't you let us
call this a bargain? Heartily yours, illegible Mr. John Muir, California. 04482
