Transcription:
BELMONT SCHOOL, Belmont, Cal., June 3, 1906. Dear Mr. Muir:- You will remember that some years ago I had a scheme for
a kind of colony at Tahoe. That has lapsed, but meanwhile we have gone ahead and built us a house there, which we are enjoying
immensely. I had hardly hoped to get up this summer, after the fire, but it has come about that we are going to be able to
have perhaps a month or two there after all. Can you not run up and give us two or three weeks of your time? I know you protest
against comfort, but we shall give you your choice of a comfortable room and plenty to eat, or you may make yourself as uncomfortable
as you like. We hope to go in about a week. Cannot you join us, and if so, when? I think I remember that you have a daughter.
We should be very glad indeed to have you bring her along with you. Very truly yoursm illegible 03739
