4 thought in Kiplings verse The Explorer - But his whisper came to me So dear Mr. Muir when I read of your boyhood, as I
am now doing of its fun its hardships its wanderings in early manhood, you again make me long for the mountains for these
Camps of proved desire known delight that my father Willy Tommy? knew of with you that we live yet again with you in spirit.
And I do hope it will be my good fortune yet to see Yosemite Hetch Hetchy with you. Your room is always waiting you at our
home we hope you will come down very soon stay for a long visit. Sincerely Freddie Magee 1 5 Montgy st. May 7/1913
letterhead Dear Mr Muir: It is some days since I received from Mr Colby your Autobiography , Mr Colby tried twice to leave
it here earlier, but our office was closed for a couple of days due to the death of Mrs Thomas Magee Sr. So I trust you will
pardon my delay in acknowledging your very kind very much appreciated gift. There are no books after The Book as Sir Walter
Scott so well 05439
