LA SALLE A. MAYNARD Proprietor and Manager THE BEST THOUSAND OF THE BEST MINDS THE MAYNARD PRESS AGENCY 83 BIBLE HOUSE
NEW YORK November 25th, 1901 Mr. John Muir, My Dear Sir: You may remember that a year or more ago, in response to a request
of mine, you raised the hope that 1 might be favored with an article from you on some topic in the line of your special study
or research.This is simply to say that 1 shall be very glad if you will send me such an article now at your early convenience.
As I wrote before, the material sent out by me appears only in high-class newspapers, such as the Boston Transcript , and
the New York Tribune , and I have among my regular contributors such men as Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Prof. Simon Newcomb,
Prof. N. S. Shaler President Hyde of Bowdoin College. As to a topic, I have only to suggest that you take something in the
line of your investigations in Alaska, or among the forests of the Pacific slope. For an article of noteless than fifteen
hundred words I shall be willing to pay 40. Yours truly, 0 illegible 228
