Transcription:
To Henry Fairfield ? Osburn Martinez, Cal. Apr.10, 1899 My dear Osborn You will see by the enclosed clipping that Yosemite
is ready for you. The snow fall on the mountains has been comparatively light this winter the best time to visit the Valley
will probably be early in May. I am invited to join an exploring party of Naturalists, Botanists, Geologists etc on a special
steamer to leave Seattle the last week of May for Glacier Bay, Yakutat, Cooks Inlet Kodiack, if you can come for Yosemite
not later than the middle of next month I may have the pleasure of the Sierra trip with you and still be in time for the Alaska
trip. But before I can accept this tempting invitation to the Northern Glaciers I will wait to hear from you when our Yosemite
excursion is to be. With best wishes many happy recollections I am very truly yours John Muir 02564
