304 HOYT STREET PORTLAND,OREGONJune 15,1912.Dear Mr.Muir:-I thank you for your kindly courteous letter granting my request for an autograph inscription in my copy of My First Summer in the Sierra. The volume goes forward by today\u27s mall. Whatever you may write therein will be much prised and greatly appreciated,as it will give the book that personal touch which I so value in the volumes I love best. I do not want to ask too much,but will say that you cannot make the note which you may direct to me in the book,too long.Thank you for expressing the wish that we might sometime meet. I can imagine no more delightful experience than to meet and converse with one who has for so many years lived in the very Temple of Nature and stored his mind...
