Transcription:
Helen Lukens Gaut magazine Corrspondent 182 East Walnut Street Pasadena ? Cal. Dec. 15, 1909. My dear Mr. Muir:-
I have forwarded you one of my little booklets which has just been published, and sincerely hope you will like it. I took
the liberty of using a quotation from one of your books, one I have always thought particularly beautiful. If after reading
the booklet, you can speak well of it, I will be pore than grateful for a brief testimonial. This is the first thing of the
kind I have ever done, and if this proves a success, which it bids fair to do, as I have already sold several hundred copies,
I will try something bigger. I was surprised to hear of Helen's marriage. I hope she will have much happinness. Will try
and write to her soon. Hoping you are well, and that we may have the pleasur of seeing you soon in Pasadena, I am, Sincerely
yours, illegible 04651
