Transcription:
AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, 77TH STREET AND CENTRAL PARK WEST, NEW YORK 5 April, 1907. My dear Professor Muir:
I received your letter of December 29th just before departing for the Fay m desert of Egypt. It was great to hear from you
and I wish we could see you and tell you of our wonderfully interesting journey into the desert where we got the ancestors
of the elephant. Yours faithfully, illegible Professor John Muir. 03861
