Transcription:
letterhead Dec 21, 1912 Dear Mr Muir, Thank you very much for the fine photograph of yourself which you have been kind
enough to send me. I shall prize it most highly all my life. Next summer when the International Geological Congress meets
in Canada they are to have a long excursion into the Northwest in connection with which they have allowed me to arrange and
be the guide for a glacial excursion. This will start from Skagway on September 12 (after the party returns from the Klondike)
and will go by special steamer for a five days trip to Muir Glacier, Yakutat Bay, and Malaspina Glacier. I anticipate there
may be 50 to 70 Europeans and Americans on the excursion (judging by the number that went to Spitzbergen in 1910) How I wish
you could arrange to go too With warm personal regards and holiday greetings Very sincerely yours, Lawrence Martin
