Transcription:
February 7, 1905 Mr. John Muir, Martinez, Calif. Dear Mr. Muir: Does the subject of Reconstructive Power of Trees interest
you That is not a good phrase, but I mean their ability to repair damages, to grow out in such a way as to balance limbs destroyed
by some accident, to recover from lightning and the ravages of fire. we do not intend to tease you for articles, for we quite
understand that your own work is very engrossing, but we shall be vary glad if you will simply have us in remembrance when
you write. The Century, you know, is enjoying a well preserved middle age, while the Country Calendar is an infant needing
sustainment and a guiding hand. Very truly yours, illegible 03524
