Transcription:
I can't visit one in a score of them and get anything done in the way of real work. One of my new books is just published
and I'll send you a copy which surely is better than a brief chat. With sincere regard faithfully yours John Muir
Mrs. M.C. Ashley State Hospital Middletown illegible letterhead New York June 12, 1911 - Dear Mrs Ashley: Your
