(Copied from rough draft of letter marked Y-10) [ca 24 May 1914] Dear Mr. Herrin: Thanks, thanks, thanks for your everlasting kindness. Ever since that last delightful night at your home I have been lost in Alaska, sinking in moss bogs, jumping logs, rooks, and crevasses, drifting along endless fiords, tracing old wanderings and trying to make something like a book of them. Last Friday Mr. Parsons, one of our faithfulles Sierra Club members died suddenly of heart dilation. I've taken a little more cold in this drizzle weather. As soon as these trouble clouds lift a little I'll gladly spend another reviving night with you and go to your blessed, healing, cheering, Wildwood pines. Ever faithfully yours, J.M.
