Dear Friend John

Today is my birthday. I now finish my 79th year. I came late this season to my winter home, arriving on the Jan 23d.

Mr. John Muir.

San Francisco.

My dear Sir.

Thanks for sending me the Hetch-Hetchy notices. I sincerely wish you success in your energetic endeavors to save for our Country a jewel second to none in the world. It would be an everlasting National disgrace and outrage to allow industry or private interests, in any shape whatsoever, to touch either stone or tree in that priceless valley.
Those who entertain for a moment the mere thought are indeed pitiful creatures, but those who actually support such flagrant sacrilege are nothing less than rank traitors and ought to be …

CHARLES DWIGHT WILLARDLOS ANGELES El Arco, San Rafael Heights, December 25th, 1912.My dear Friend:A man who is well, and able to get about, is allowed the happiness of meeting his friends at intervals, but one who is tied down by long illness, as I am, may see only those that come to him. As I live in rather an inaccessible spot, and as I am not always strong enough to see people, the number I actually meet is small, and tends perhaps to grow less. Yet there never was a time in my life when I felt more dependent on …

"Woodby", Pelham, NY., December 23, 1912.My dear Scootcher-loving Scot,I've been following you -with delight through all the experiences of your boyhood in Scotland and in the wilderness. How vivid it all is! How it explains you. Such lads! fighting, and even in their games flogging one another! Yet tender hearted withal. My heart warmed to your poor bereft grandfather - I wish you had told us more about him.It was quite a "scootcher" for your father to pick up and come with you lads to America, but I'm glad he did it. And you've been seeking out "scootchers" ever since.Mr. …

' New York City, August 20, 1912. Rkv. II. D. Lamb. Dear tiir, ΓÇö The editor of the Atlantic Monthly has been good enough to send me your letter to him for perusal, ΓÇö I being 'The Outsider.' It was my earnest endeavor to write the article in question without giving offense, but I fear I have failed in this, and even in the more important task of expressing clearly what I meant to say. My point was that Smith is frankly not a Christian; therefore that it is idle to say that he should go to church if he …
