Transcription:
(December 1913) Dear Mrs Osborn; here I think are the verses you wish me to write out and which I often quoted at blessed
Castle Rock. Life is too short to waste In critic peep or cynic bark, Quarrel or reprimand: Twill soon be dark; Up Mind
thine own aim, and God speed the mark From Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem entitled To J. W. The first line is Set not thy foot
on qraves - Ever affectionately yours John Muir California. December 1913- 05620
