Dear Mr Sargent
Soon after the death of our [friend] [Catherine Merrill] [death] Mrs Moores requested me to [send] contribute to a memorial write a sketch volume [which I paraphrased & gladly did so].
This I did sketching the story of our acquaintance & correspondence – her sympathy, kindness when I was blind, has influence as a teacher & as a woman her rare personality etc etc etc. This I sent just [such a “sketch” as] what you want for [your] Sketch – the story of our acquaintance her kindness when I was blind. Her influence. My appreciation of her as a friend teacher philanthropist & pure lovely noble, noble woman.

My dear Prof. Dudley,
I am very anxious to do anything I can with money, writing or talking towards securing a [space] block of 3 or 4000 Acres of red wood for a [ ] park. I am now busy [on] [writing] a Sequoia Parks [ ] article long promised to one of the magazines & [have more work] on my hands then I can possibly get through with this winter. I wld [would] have gladly left off working to attend the meeting at the palace if I thought I could do any good but my views on the subject are [so] well known, I have nothing new to offer, nor could I say more than I have said should I talk till doom. I am with you in anything you may do toward saving these glorious trees! Let me know what you decide
