Transcription:
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY. Jamaica Plain, Mass., December 28, 1896. My dear Muir: The enclosed may interest
you or at least part of it which relates to the Hemlock with erect cones. I have seen one of Gorman's specimens and I took
the position of the cones to be the result of imperfect development; at any rate I suppose we shall have to go next summer
and look this matter up. I wish you would return Gorman's letter for future reference. My foot is slowly improving and I
can now bear a little weight on it, but it is very tedious and I shan't be good for much before spring. Faithfully yours,
illegible John Muir, Esq. Martinez, Cal. 02198
