Letter from John Muir to [Walter H.] Page, 1902 Nov 18.

Martinez, California.Nov. 18, 1902.My dear Mr. Page;Many thanks for your kind and stirring letter. If I could get writing done as you can, you would soon see a dozen or so of my new books. Your literary work goes forward with admirable steadiness and sustained strength, mine try as I may, goes slow as a glacier and with none of it\u27s steadiness, as if the whole scribbling business were against God\u27s will.I am now trying to write a revew of Sargent\u27s Silva for the Atlantic, and a little book on the Yosemite Valley and other valleys of the same kind, which will keep me busy all winter.The thought of your coming to California is delightful, and when you do you will of course come to my house.What a magnificent magazine you have made the World\u27s Work, the last number is perfectly superb. I heartily congratulate you and am Sincerely Yours[illegible]0310
