Transcription:
548 Madison St Milwaukee Wis Aug 17th 1896 Mrs John Muir Dear Madam I take the liberty of addressing this letter to
you, in order to obtain your account P.O. adress. I promised Mr Muir a large family photo, but neglected to get his addresss:
often though of it, but hated to interrupt the precious conversation by asking. I considered that I had it in some old letters,
but these if I now have them, seem hard to find. So I am presuming on the good nature of the P.O men, to find you, without
your direct address; which then you will kindly furnish me. I presume Mr Muir is now engaged with that forestry commission
he told me about when here: roaming the mountains, along the northern part of your coast, enjoying his earthly heaven, I could
enjoy it with him, and enjoy his narration of these things immensely. My neccessities however lead me in a different line,
but fortunately one that accords with my nature. In communicating to Mr Muir, please give him my kindest regards. Respectfully
yours W. H. Trout 02143
