Muir Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 26, 1911. 325 West Adams Street. Mr. R. U. Johnson, The Century Magazine. Union Square,
New York. Dear Mr. Johnson:- I am glad you are going to give mo a memorandum of your relationship to Yosemite Park and
other parks. Do not make it too short, as I want everybody to know that in particular you invented Yosemite Park. On receipt
of your letter of Jan. 5th I wrote immediately to your son-in-law, Mr. Holden, at the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, giving
him my address and saying I hoped to meet him here, but I have not yet heard from him. I shall he glad to see Mr. Scott here.
My ingressions of South America, that you mention, may he a long way off yet, but I hope to make that journey before it is
too late. I am trying dictation and in the story of my life I find I can do something in the way of composition, though of
course it has to be cast often. Glad you had such a splendid time at the academy and wish I could have been with you. Don't
work too hard, now that you are Editor, since blessed. Gilder left you. Hoping to see you ere long, I am Ever faithfully
yours, John Muir
