Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBOETUM, HARBARD UNIVERSITY. Jamaica Plain,Mass.,July 3,1897. My dear Muir: I have from Congdon, who lives
at Mariposa, branches of Abies magnifica with the buds of the staminate flowers still unopened, so there is perhaps still
a chance to get them this season from high altitudes. Congdon's specimens were taken on the 6th of June. Canby cannot leave
home until August 1st.This means that I will start on the 2nd and will meet you at Bamff about the 6th or 7th. Of course if
there is any change of date, I will notify you in time. We count, of course, on your being there when we arrive or shortly
afterward. Faithfully yours, illegible John Muir, Esq. 02312
