In this letter, Hay is thanking Hague for sending him proofs from the biography of the geologist Clarence King entitled Clarence King memoirs: The helmet of Mambrino. The King Memorial Committee of the Century Association, of which James D. Hague was a member, published the biography in 1904. Although Hay returned the proofs to Hague, they are not with the letter.
