Transcription:
(Original letter in possession of Dr. Clara Barrus) Martinez, Nov. 9, 1909. Dear John Burroughs: It's always pure pleasure
to hear from you. Send on your Yosemite article and I'll gladly read it and give anything I have that may seem worth while
as suggestions. As to the origin of the Valley you do well to remain unconvinced since you have not studied it -- only glanced
at it. Your impressions of its beauty and grandeur and worth to our dollar-seeking, dollar-sick nation should, I think, be
your main object. All's well. Helen's married Ever faithfully yours, John04629
