My dear Mrs Jones
I am very glad & heartily congratulate you on your success as a writer Few have done so well & no doubt you soon will be known & more work at good price will come to you than you will be able to furnish. I have read & am returning [Quimido?] the charming little bird story. Your improvement in style & expression is well marked Be sparing of superlatives & big adjectives of high color on the levels of your stories & they will stand out & count where they justly belong. Remember me to your mother & the children & [Mrs?] [Dyer?] Heaven bless you
Ever sincerely yours John Muir
