My dear Lummis

Your grand trumpet blast [illegible] this Calaveras business has I fancy made every Sequoia on the Sierra wave & tingle. Get an editorial in the same key into Your Magazine & verily these northern groves & all the other will be saved. I'm doing my part as well as I can. It is a fine thing after so many years of deadly apathy to see so much lively interest taken in these noblest of Gods trees, & I fondly hope awakening public opinionm,will result in adding these two Northern Groves to the Tahoe or …

Dear Sir,

I have more reason to remember you than you can have for keeping my name in memory. For since you came to me in the State Fairgrounds with your clocks & asked for a place to set them, I have had great personal interest in your fortunes. It was in Madison, Wisconsin, but I am not sure of the year - was it 1860? I had charge of what was called the "Department of the Fine Arts", and of the large building on the hill which afterwards was …

book I should certainly go the first of October. As it is we must remain here until the books are out, trusting to get a change later. We have hoped for word from Wanda telling us when she is to make her promised visit. We often speak of the delightful time we had with you, and Miss Knapp fairly beams whenever she refers to it. I enclose two or three photographs for Mrs. Muir, and will send her some more later.
With kindest regards to you and yours from all three of us,

Sincerely your friend

My dear friend Muir -

We see by the papers that the Harriman Expedition has returned. As your name is not mentioned it is possible that you have stayed in Alaska for a little uninterrupted work. We hope however that you have gotten home safely and well.
Our friend Keith passed through here Friday on his way home from Europe and spent several hours with us to out great enjoyment. We begged him to stay longer but he said he was "nothing but a California gopher" and was in a hurry to get back to his …

read and corrected here, because it could hardly follow you to Alaska and I could not for a moment think of delaying its publication until you should come back and have time to read the proof and send it across the continent to me again. This is too good a thing to wait that long for. Besides, your copy is very plain indeed, and I think we shall make no mistakes.

Very heartily yours,

We have in Berkeley an organization of the public school teachers which has been engaged [during?] the year in securing speakers who have something to say of interest not only to the teachers but to all who are interested in the public schools. It is our desire to hear from John Muir on some topic connected with the Sierras or his experience elsewhere on the Pacific Coast. Can you not give us a date some time in May? I can assure you of a hearty reception. Please let me hear from …

Replying to your telegram of March 7, 1899, I have to say that the evidence before this office ie overwhelmingly against sheep-grazing in the Sierra Forest Reserve.
The reasons stated for opposing the pasturage of sheep within said reserve aro of the most substantial and convincing character, and come from what appears to be disinterested souroes. The Forest Superintendent and Supervisors have made exhaustive reports opposing it.
There are four petitions from …

Mr. McAneny, secretary of the Civil-Service Reform Association, and Herbert Yfelsh of the Indian Bureau are going down very soon to Washington to see Hitchcock, the new secretary of the Interior. Before they go I am going to give McAnany some points with reference to the condition of the forest reserves. He will try to get them placed under the civil-service rules— or, at least, under a better system than now obtains. I will write a letter …
