Dear Mr Muir-
We were greatly shocked at what you wrote about poor Helen. The desert is an interesting place to visit but to be banished there for two years seems very hard. I did not answer your letter because I was trying to find some one who had acquaintances at Moh[illegible]- B[illegible] or some other "eating home town" on the desert, but so far have not succeeded. I met Lukens & he says he recomended you going to a ranch near Dagget, but I thought it would …

My dear Mr. Muir:
I know that I cannot sufficiently express my pleasure and pride in the last reunion on Christmas morning. So I shall not attempt to. But believe that I appreciate your kindness.
I am seriously considering forming a

"Sierra Club annex" to my library, and in this annex my "National Parks" will bear the most honored place.
Looking forward to meeting you again sometime, if not in Reno, in the mountains, and with greetings to your family, believe me
Sincerely and Cordially yours,
Anna H. Martin.
Reno.

Dear Sir:-
Your issue of the 10th inst. contained a criticism of my position on "The Hatch Hetchy Water Supply" and I assume that you will be fair enough to give me a "square deal" in the matter and hence send you this reply. The writer of that criticism is evidently one of those whom I referred to as being "wedded" to the Hetch Hetchy system, though he does not disclose his identity.
He brushes aside my reference to Professor [illegible]arx' statements made before the Common Health …

My attention has recently been called to the renewed attempts of the city of San Francisco to obtain the use of the Hetch-Hetchy Valley as a reservoir site for its water supply.
The matter first came up several years ago, in the form of an application for the use of both Hetch-Hetchy Valley and of Lake Eleanor, both of which are in the Yosemite Park. The matter was referred by the then Secretary of the Interior to the Director of the Geological …

My Dear Sir,
Pardon my intrusion upon your valuable time, but may I venture to ask for a statement of your experience as to the effects of alcohol and tobacco upon the mind and health?
Do stimulants and narcotics give increased strength, greater lucidity of mind, and more continuous power, or do they weaken and cloud the intellect, and lessen that capacity for enduring a prolonged strain of mental exertion which is one of the first requisites of the intellectual life?
With the hope of arriving at data which would be trustworthy and decisive, I have …
