Transcription:
384 Union Street Springfield, Mass., March 6, 1912 Dear Mr. Muir, I want to tell you how very, very much I have enjoyed
reading your story of Stickeen My Aunt and I read it to-gether and I just love it. Was it really true? I love dogs and I am
so sorry he disappeared and you didn't ever hear of him again. The other week I saw some moving pictures of great glaciers
and ice walls and cravasses and I could just fairly see you and Stickeen traveling along together, and I had great sympathy
with him for not wanting to go down those awful ice 05157 steps you made for him. I am so glad you wrote that splendid
story. I am making a collection of autographs and am so very anxious to have yours. Would you be so very kind as to send
it to me. Please believe I do not wish to cause you any trouble, but I should appreciate it so much. Your friend and Stickeen's
too. Rachel Syman Field
