Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Jamaica Plain, Mass., February 3, 1898. My dear Muir: I am sorry to say that the
man in Washington who makes the transparencies reports that that picture of the Sugar Pine is not good enough for his work.
I am sorry but perhaps we shall be more successful another time; at any rate bear the matter in mind when you see photographs
of California trees. I have this morning received your picture in the Critic. It is one of the best I have ever seen of any
one. I must try and get an original. I am glad to see that you are credited with having made you glacier. Faithfully yours,
C.S. illegible John Muir, Esq. Martinez, Cal. 02399
