Transcription:
First draft of letter,in note-book January,1903 Possibly to Mr.A.H.Payson About a month ago the Century Co. wrote me
that the Santa Fe liked my article in the November number of the Century Magazine on the Colorado Ca ntilde;on, and had requested
permission to publish it in pamphlet form.They asked if I saw any objection to their acceding to this request, and I replied
that the more widely it was published the better, and that I wished only to retain the copyright. I have not heard anything
farther on the matter. If your Co. should publish it I should like to see the proof sheets before it goes into pamphlet.Can
you give me the name and address of the Superintendent of Publication? John Muir
