You could make the introduction as long or as short as you desire, say, from five to ten printed pages.At the meeting of our directors this morning, we discussed your suggestion that we help you in your fight for the preservation of our National Parks, and we shall give this suggestion our very careful consideration.We are, with kind regards,Faithfully yours,Houghton Mifflin Company[illegible]Dr. John Muir,Martinez, California.FSH/B05586
