Early 1900 Telegram by John Burroughs & School of the Woods

I found a while back this early telegram. Sometime between 1900 and 1909, John Burroughs wrote this telegram to the "School of the Woods" on a new theater. John Burroughs wrote "School of the Woods" in 1902, so it is not clear who he was writing this to. John Burroughs (April 3, 1837-March 29, 1921) was an American naturalist and essayist important in the evolution of the U.S. conservation movement. According to biographers at the American Memory project at the Library of Congress, John Burroughs was the most important practitioner after Thoreau of that especially American literary genre, the nature essay.
