My dear Dr. Muir,-
I have received the January Bulletin of the Sierra Club with the November Appalachian and believe I am indebted to you for this remembrance. I thank you for this and shall be glad to have you or Miss Helen present my name for membership in the Club if you have not already done so.
Father and Mother are well and ask to be remembered. They often speak of the pleasant day spent with you. Father has had a few stereographs of the Grand Canyon sent you which he begs you to receipt in token of friendship.
Yours cordially,
Frank V. Cornish
