ARNOLD ARBORETUM, HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

Jamaica Plain, Mass., February 11, 1897.

My dear Muir:

I enclose drafts of a Dill which I am going to try and have passed at the extra session of Congress and which I shall accompany with a letter to the Secretary of the Interior describing the actual condition of the Reserves and the dangers which threaten them. I wish you could arrange to have this matter put before the new Secretary of the Interior before he leaves California and get him committed to the bill, as without his endorsement and support nothing, of course, will come …

My dear Mr. Muir:

I return to you with many thanks the communications you have been good enough to send me in reference to the Big Trees.
Engelmann, in The Botany of California, speaks of the fruit of Sequoia as maturing the second year. This I should think must be a mistake, as there is nothing to show on any of my specimens that it does not ripen the first autumn. If I am wrong about this,I wish you would send me a line by return post that I may …

My dear Mr. Muir:

Do you remember you told me that when you were in the Kerne River country you got into clumps of White Oaks that were so thick that you had difficulty in prenetrating them? The Oak must have been Quercus Breweri and I wish you would tell me where this place was, at what elevation, etc., and how high the bushes grew. If I remember what you said correctly they were not less thatn twenty feel tall. Any information about the locality of the bushes I shall be glad of.

When you were with us last summer, did you not say, through the Sierra Club, you would get a law before the Legislature to protect the singing birds of California?
I understand so, and have started a petition with that understanding. There is a Mr. Flint of the Town and Country or Sportsman Club who is a member of the Legislature this term, who has something of the kind in hand. Would it be too much trouble for you to write to him at Sacramento, or to …

The Courts Of Judea, Jerome C. Knowlton

Articles

The study of Jewish jurisprudence has become interesting during the past ten years through the efforts of some painstaking scholars, who have not been burdened with any particular dogma, but have been actuated by a true Christian spirit. They have been close students of those portions of the Talmud which throw light on the jurisprudence of the Jews.

Asst. Ed. Century.

Dear Sir,

My delay in returning the paper on John Muir is owing to two causes. On his return from Alaska, Mr. Muir was so busy with his “grape crop” that for three months he could find no time to give me the “bibliography” and other detail necessary to fill out the article. Then owing to a political [illegible] incident to election to the office of City Superintendant the completion of the paper was delayed.
