Transcription:
THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 14, 1910. My dear Dr. Muir: I have your kind letter of January 8th and thank you
sincerely for the good will and good wishes and personal confidence that it shows. I an passing through rather a strenuous
time, but I hope that in the end pounding away along the right path will prove to be the best course politically. Whether
it does or not, it is certain to be the best course for one's own comfort. If I go to Alaska this year it would gratify me
very much to have you join me at Seattle and take the trip around. I am not sure that I can make the trip, as I am afraid
Congress may be in session too late. But it would double the pleasure of the trip for Mrs. Taft and me if you could go.
Sincerely yours, Illegible Dr. John Muir, Martinez, California. 04682
