Letter From John Muir To Miss [Mary Francis] Kellogg 1914 Apr 18, John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Martinez, April 18, 1914 Dear Miss Kellogg, I’m very sorry to hear Mr Scripps is so dangerously ill and fondly hope that the present kind weather may effect his recovery to good health. Please convey my sympathy to Mrs Kellogg. I’m glad you are going to Yosemite and Tuolumne. I wanted to send you my Yosemite book but find I’ve none left. Just get a copy from Broman and tell him to charge it to my account. I’ve been confined to my den for months with Grippe but am getting better. I am hard at work on my Alaska travels …

Darling HelenIt is delightful that you are actually growing stoat and plump after coming through so many lean dismal years when half your flesh flow away again and again after short intervals of returning health.

Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates Jan 1914

Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates

Articles

That the practice of law and the administration of justice are under a fire of popular distrust and criticism of extraordinary intensity requires no proof. A fact of which there is evidence in numerous contemporary books, in almost every magazine, in the daily papers, in the remarks, or the questions, or it may be in the sneers, of one's friends, requires no further demonstration. The only questions of importance to be answered are to what extent this criticism and this distrust are well founded, what are the remedies for such defects as exist, and how and by whom should they …

Dear Mr. Muir:

I thank you for your letter to me of October 25th andfor the pictures and papers which accompanied it.
I have always been opposed to the use of the Hetch Hetchy Valley as a water supply for San Francisco, and have repeatedly testified against the scheme. I think the best thing I can now do in defense of the Valley is to write a letter to Senator Hollis of Hew Hampshire, a young Democratic politician in whom I feel an interest and who has some respect for my opinion.

Dear Mrs Parsons,

There would be no difficulty about wages. But I would not advertise or seek for a servant at intelligence offices. I have had experience - lots of it at such places_ & never succeeded in finding a single good servant_ all were utter failures. If purchance you …

Your kind letter came just in the midst of confusion and almost intolerable heat. Fancy moving and trying to settle a home with the house you wok in sizzling at about 112!

Your friendly letter, with its words of warm appreciation of my uncle Gen. Noble, & of helpful suggestions for me, was just what I hoped for - & it is not often that a letter is quite that, is it? Indeed, its kindness, & the fact that the objects of the Sierra Club, as set forth on your letter-head, include the publishing of "authentic information concerning" the mountain regions of this coast, encourage one to ask you many more questions.
