449 AUG 26 1910 Martinez, California, August 15, 1910. Houghton Mifflin Company, 4 Park Street, Boston. Mass. Dear
Sirs: Today I am sending by Wells Fargo Express,a few blurred odds and ends of. sketches, the culls of a hundred or more
made in my first Sierra Summer. Some of them may be of use to your Artists. Also a few good photographs, which, with others
that Mr. Gleason can furnish, will, I suppose answer well enough. Please return them after you are through with them.
