Frank H. Scott. Prest. Chas. F. Chichester. Treas. William W. Ellsworth, Secretary. April 28, 1894 My dear Mr. Muir:-
I herewith enclose an agreement in duplicate covering the publication of your book, The Mountains of California, which is
made out in our usual form. As stated in my last letter, we do not think it necessary or desirable to avail ourselves of your
kind suggestion to guarantee us against loss, but as it is usual and generally most satisfactory to adjust such matters by
a modification of the royalty we have made this five per cent on the first 2000 copies and ten per cent thereafter, which
we trust will meet your views. If the agreement is satisfactory kindly sign and return one copy 01807 to us, returning
the copy which bears our signature. Believe me Very trully yours illegible John Muir Esq. Martinez, California
