In this letter written in Albany, Oregon, Cyrus Walker recounts past article he's written on Oregon history as well as articles he wishes to write based on his personal experiences. As well as being advised to write more articles for the Pacific Monthly by friends and admirers, Walker was also advised to write a book based on his "reminiscences of pioneer days" in Oregon. He proposes an idea to the editor in which he rewrites some older articles adding new material and writes some new ones. After publication in Pacific Monthly, he would then publish them together in book form.
