Transcription:
letterhead Mr. John Muir. Martinez Calif. My Dear Mr Muir I am sending in to-day, my resignation from the Directors
of the Sierra Club. I am to be absent from our University for a year, on leave. - taking my sabbatical year. I have been somewhat
run down for the past two years, and intend to take some rest and travel. I am notifying Mr. Colby as Secretary, but I write
to you to express to you personally the great satisfaction it has been to me to be associated with you in a work and in objects
I was deeply interested in. It was one of the greatest pleasures of my life in California, and I need not add, a great honor.
I congratulate you that the work in which you led so many years, slowly building up a public sentiment, has advanced so rapidly
during the later years. With the sincerest regard and respect, I am yours truly, W. R. Dudley. 03763
