4 I hope you liked the Markham book. You didn't say that you received it. My best friend, Charles Ferguson, illegible of
the Religion of Democracy, who preaches the doctrine of out-of-doors, wrote me the other day of the Markham book, saying It
will do much to abate the world - nuisance of intellectual cleverness and moral meanness. So good this seemed to me that I
quote it for you. In truth it seems to the subscriber that intellectual cleverness, as we see it in print and speech to-day
is a very nuisance, needing sorely to be abated. Do you know what I like best in National Parks? Yellowstone illegible , that
fine touch on the sugar pine, the mountain fires and the meeting with Emerson. Yours as ever, F. B. Millard.
