Transcription:
Martinez, August 30, 1910 Dear Mrs Osborn, To join you at lovely Lake McDonald would be according to my own heart. I spent
a charming week there at Avalanche Lake some fifteen years ago. But the illness death of my sister Margaret, many tasks duties
that have gathered about me will prevent me joining you in your Montana outing also I fear will block the way to the Hudson
this fall, a visit to which I have been looking eagerly forward. It will go hard indeed with me however if I fail to be with
you next summer or fall, after the Hetch Hetchy question is decided With warmest regards Faithfully your friend John Muir
