YALE UNIVERSITY, SECRETARY'S OFFICE, New Haven, Conn., June 1, 1910. John Muir, LL.D., Martinez, Cal. Dear Sir:-
I have the honor to inform you that at a meeting of the Yale Corporation held recently it was voted to confer upon you the
degree of Doctor of Letters in case you can be present at the Commencement Exercises in New Haven, on Wednesday, June the
twenty-second. We sincerely hope that you may be able to accept this invitation thereby enabling the University to honor
itself in honoring you. I am enclosing a Commencement program. You are asked to be at Woodbridge Hall in Academic costume
without hood Wednesday morning, June 22nd, at 9:45 o'clock promptly. If you do not happen to have a cap and gown and do not
care to borrow them from friends, they may be secured from Messrs. Cotrell Leonard, State Street, Albany, N. Y. As Commencement
comes this year a week earlier than usual and as there is only three weeks before the Exercises, I would very highly appreciate
telegraphic reply at my expense. Very truly yours, illegible 04775
