Transcription:
ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON, EDITOR. CLARENCE CLOUGH BUEL, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. June 10, 1910 My dear Muir: It is with
reluctance that I send back to you Rev. S. Hall Young's paper, but I think it is just as well to distribute the interest in
J. M. and American scenery and to have it go somewhere else. We are about to print in the August number Miss Barrus's article
on John o' Birds and John o' Mountains, and a charming article it is; and it would be more than a year before we could have
another article of the same general character. I feel sure the Atlantic would be glad to have this and I am extremely sorry
not to be able to make room for it. My problem just now is how to make the Century alluring by the variety as well as interest
of the contents. I hear a rumor that the Hetch-Hetchy matter has gone over a year. Do they think you and I are going to shuffle
off this mortal coil so soon as that? Nay, verily - not if we can help it. Faithfully yours, illegible Mr. John Muir.
