W. B. PARKER EDITOR 434 Lafayette St., NEW YORK New York, August 17, 1909 Mr. John Muir, Martinez, Cal. Dear Mr.
Muir: I am greatly pleased to see your handwriting again, and glad to hear that there is a chance of the Autobiography going
forward this winter. If any parts of it get into such shape as to be suitable for magazine publication, please let me see
them, and if it should be at any time proper for me to make a suggestion about the publication in book form, I should be grateful
if you would let me do so. Perhaps you have seen enough of the editor's and publisher's type of mind to realize that I take
an almost parental interest in this book. I should be glad to have the pleasure of arranging its christening and debut, Mr.
Price, as you surmise, is in Europe, at Munich or Paris with Mr. Harriman, but if the papers are right, they will both be
back here very soon. With all good wishes and friendly regards, I am. Yours sincerely, W. B. Parker 04564
