DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY

My dear Muir:

I was delighted to get your letter of December 29th, and am glad you agree with me that discover is better than even the highest executive office. I am hurrying off to Egypt now on an important exploring expedition. All I can add is that we frequently think of you, and all the family send you love and good wishes for the new year.

Yours faithfully,

[illegible]

Mr. John Muir.
