San Jose, Cal. May, 15th, 1892.My dear Mr. Muir:Your kind letter was received and I will make my headquarter in your hidden cabine, if you kindly permit me to do so. Please give me a letter to some person, who is in charge of the premises; or shall I write to the governor for a permit to pitch my tent where I please? Inclosed prospectus will interest you, perhaps the [Derving?] Publishing Company may do something to aid the enterprise and I hope that you may write up for us Middle and Northern California. You are a true artist and I will take great pains to execute in colors what you described so beautifully. I have sent some of my best watercolor paintings of Southern California to Hanfstaengl Royal Art Publishing House in Munich (my native city) to be reproduced in [Agnarell?] Gravure style; in return I was congratulated, that my sketches were the best representation ever seen abroad of our beautiful amosphere’s tints, beculiar only to Southern California,
