[Madam/Mr/s] [Mr/M.] T[ ]

I’ll not be able to accept your kind invitation [ ] [ ] [ ] [the] work finished a little book about the Forest Reserves and Nat [National] Parks & its publishers are pushing me unmercifully [ ] for copy & illustrations lest the book be delayed beyond the most favorable [time] [So I have to deny myself & stick to my desk] But after this job is off my hands I’ll be glad to accept your kind invitation. In the meantime, I must practice strict self-denial & stick to my desk. Of course I know Miss [ ], the brave and good mtneer [mountaineer] & writer [and] have long been one of her most devout admirers.
