Transcription:
Original in possession of Mr. William Newton, Omaha illegible , Neb. Adamana, Ariz. July 13, 1906. Mr. Wm. Newton, Omaha,
Neb. My dear Sir; I am the John Muir you saw at Prairie du Chien when you were a small boy in the Auld lang syne. I remember
your father and mother with pleasure, and have their photographs at home in California. The only person from the company of
those old days I have oftentimes seen is Mrs. Wilson (Emily Pelton). I am studying the petrified forests hereabouts, but
hope to be at home in a few days, and will be glad to see you when you come West, and am with pleasant memories, Faithfully
yours, John Muir. 03752
