Transcription:
Portland, Oregon, August 7, 1907. Mr. John Muir My Dear Sir: Perhaps you remember the trip in 1879 you took on the same
steamer with my parents, Dr. and Mrs. Lindsley, to Alaska. On your return I had the honor of meeting you as a young girl in
my father s home. Since then we have always read with intense interest anything from your pen. I am now the proud mother
of a fourteen-year old ( illegible there are others) son, who is collecting autographs of distinguished people, and he desired
that I should write to you and beg the favor of yours. Perhaps I may admit that his mother is greatly interested in this collection,
also. Yours most respectfully, illegible Rose (Mrs. illegible R-) 590 Main St. 03905
