SPEERASSISTANT SECRETARYIN REMarch 10, 1914.Mr. John Muir,Martinez, Cal.Dear Mr. Muir:If you have half as pleasant a recollection as I have of the little excursion you and I planned from Hutchinson hotel in Yosemite Valley to the top of El Capital[illegible] and the Three Brothers, in the summer of 1870, you may be pleased with a word from me, suggested by a recent reference to you by the travel lecturer Mr. B, D. Baumgar[illegible]t, from whom I obtained your present address.While you have been busy earning world wide honors as a naturalist during these forty-three intervening years, I have been equally busy with work in my profession and in various public activities, and in raising a family.You may remember that I married one of the two ladies who were in that pioneer trip to the top of Three Brothers, which my wife named Eagle Peak. She was a brilliant woman and a good mother, and after helping me raise and liberally educate three splendid daughters, she passed away six years ago.My eldest daughter is head of the Department of05722
