Famed American naturalist (1837–1921) best known for his writings on nature and travel. ALS, two pages, 4.75 x 7.25, July 3. Burroughs writes Harold Baynes. In full: “Your letter comes to me just as I am setting myself at Woodchuck Lodge on the home farm for my summer’s work & play. I have a new vol. of essays to lick into shape for fall publication & some new essays to write. I wish I was in the mood to respond to your kind invitation for Sept. but I am not. Call on some of the younger men. I am old & preoccupied & of late years have felt compelled to decline all invitations of a public character. I can keep well & do my work on no other conditions. I have fought my battle for the birds by trying to awaken an interest in them; now you younger men do well to enlist the public in helping establish bird sanctuaries etc. You have my sympathy & hearty good will. Sometime I am sure I shall come your way & see what you have done.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, a few spots of toning, and a brush to one word on the first page.
