Prof. -John Muir,
Martinez, Calif.,
My dear Mr. Muir:-

I am told that you are to accompany President Roosevelt into Yosemite Valley. You are fully aware of the fact that the President is deeply interested in Forests and Forestry. You also know that the Calevaras Groves of Big Trees are in the possession of a lumberman and that thus far, the Speaker of the House of Representatives has refused to permit a bill for their purchase by the Government to be brought up for discussion.
It is a question as to whether Congress should purchase …

WHITE HOUSE,

WASHINGTON.

March 14, 1903.

My dear Mr. Muir:

Through the courtesy of President Wheeler I have already been in communication with you, but I wish to write you personally to express the hope that you will be able to take me through the Yosemite. I do not want anyone with me but you, and I want to drop politics absolutely for four days and just be out in the open with you. John Burroughs is probably going through the Yellowstone Park with me, and I want to go with you through the Yosemite.

Sincerely yours,

My Dear Sir:

From private advices from Washington I learn that President Roosevelt is desirous of taking a trip in the high Sierras during his visit to California, and has expressed a wish to go with you. practically alone.

Niles, December 30, 1900

Mr. Robert Underwood Johnson,

My Dear Sir:-

your recent letter asking about the condition of the supposed Armstrong forest and our duties as trustees was duly received, but I could not at once reply, because, although I presumed as you did that the death of Colonel Armstrong ended the whole matter, I still thought it necessary to ascertain the facts.
I was in Santa Rosa a few days ago (the county seat of Sonoma), and there examined the history of the redwood land in question. I found that in 1892 a deed was recorded transferring …

Dear Mr. Johnson:

Your note, with enclosure of a note in regard to the Big Trees at Calaveras, reached me yesterday. I immediately communicated with Mr. Pinchot of the Forestry Bureau of the Agricultural Department, and talked the matter over with him. It seems that his attention had been called to the matter by some Californians, and had come to the attention of Members of Congress from that State. Possibly we may …
