be to Servia for a month or two. The more I see of that man the more I like him and admire him. You have reason to think
that I have delayed for a long time my writing to you about your manuscript, but the fact is there is hardly anything to say.
The Discovery of Glacier Bay is now in good shape, and if there is anything to suggest I will do it in proof. I have not yet
given scrutinizing attention to the Alaska Trip, but I have no doubt that is all right too. I don't think we can use the Indian
part, as we have several papers on Indians by Miss Fletcher which have been hanging on for months, even years, and we must
give them precedence. Besides there is hardly enough of this material to make an article. Do you not want to write out the
dog and glacier story in your liveliest style? If you could dictate it it would be all the better, perhaps. With apologies

hopes of seeing you here before long, and with kindest regards to Mrs. Muir, Ever faithfully yours, illegible 01812
