Dear Mr. Johnson.
I wish I could give you all the magazine stuff you want, but these eventful days are all but barren of everything but distracting cares great & small. Anyhow I never as you know can be counted on for articles to order while many things my mine surpass in interest theological upbringing.

Faithfully yours
John Muir
