1 Marshfield Wis. April 24th 1913 John Muir Esq. Martinez Calif. My dear Sir A few days ago I saw in the Record
Herald of Chicago a brief Sketch of John Muir. As I once knew a John Muir I examined the reference and came to the conclusion
that the gentleman referred to was the same John Muir with whom I was acquainted more than fifty years ago at the Wis. University.
A vivid recollection of the old days at the University came to me and I felt that I would be delighted to grasp your hand
once more and give it a hearty shake. Fifteen years ago I met Prof Butler at his home in Madison. In the course of our conversation
he asked me if I remembered John Muir. I responded that the last things that I would forget would be John Muir and his famous
clock and bed He called my attention to the great work 05430
