Martinez March 29, 1893.

My dear Mr Johnson-

I see by the newspapers that the President has appointed a Wisconsin man to the land office so that Irish danger is past. Weeks ago however I sent my protest to Hoke Smith against Irish, & I suppose Armes did. I know that Robinson has been dealing out Southern Pacific influence in his grand way. It is hardly so bad as he makes out but disgracefully near it. I admire your efforts for Yosemites sake Your pluch & & perserverance for the public good in such matters is immortal & well …

Mr. John Muir,

Martinez, Cal.

My dear Mr. Muir:

When you were at Mr. Olney’s in Oakland some weeks ago, if you remember, I asked you and Mrs. Muir to come to the Charter Day exercises and inauguration of President Kellogg, and to lunch at our fraternity house afterward. I want to remind you of it and urge you to come. On all public days at the University we give an informal lunch to our friends and I would like to have you meet the boys in my fraternity and

Personal

My dear Mr. Muir:-

I have made my personal protest in a letter to the President against the appointment of John P. Irish as Commissioner of Public Lands, and I do not believe that that appointment will be made; but if good citizens of California care anything about the matter, it is time that they also should protest, or else forever after hold their peace. I consider it a part of good citizenship to warn the President of his peril in making such an appointment. Why should this type of man flourish by the sufferance …

Dear Muir:

This is deadly confidential. Irish went to Washington for the Commissioner ship of Public Lands (ye [illegible]!) He will not get it. He will be lucky if he gets any thing outside of Wash. The powers that be have been enlightened as to his Cal. reputation. I have written two letters and J.P. is pretty well [illegible]lated.

Mr. Burroughs, who is at my elbow, says to give you his love and say that he will match grapes with you any day. He says that when he goes West he will fill his pockets with his finest specimens. He also says, that if you two do not meet in this world, you will be sure to meet in the next by sheer force of elective affinity.

I thank you for your letter of the 14th inclosing Mr. McAllister's.
I do not care three straws on what basis the Yosemite is receded if only it be receded. I think it would be better to recede it on general principles rather than to go into the scandal; but one thing must be clearly understood,- that if it is not receded at the present session of your* Legislature , I shall have a Congressional …

Yours of the 13[th?] rec’d yesterday. I am now in communication with Robinson from whom I rec’d a letter on Saturday, asking me to come to San Francisco, with the prospect of getting work on the Call in the Yosemite business and perhaps permanently. The request struck me when “dead broke”, or I would have been in the city by this time, although I have been preparing, and am all ready, to publish a little country paper here, the first number to appear either this or next week.

Yours of the 23d received. I have lately mailed to you a couple of articles from Fresno papers – one by the enemy and one by myself. Nothing better could have happened than this latest blackguardly attack on you, if the movement to rescue the Valley is now to be seriously pushed.

I trust that your strength is solidly established, not soon to be shaken by attacks of illness. I enclose a cutting from the Examiner, the article being by one Allan Kelly, who holds the sinecure position of “State Forester” and knows as much about forest management as does a sucking calf. He is, I believe, playing for …

My dear Mr. Muir,

As you have probably seen by the Chronicle of Sept. 17th our first meeting was very successful. We had a very good audience, and I think made a very favorable impression. Several joined that night and several more since then so that today we have one-hundred-and-sixty-two names on our roll. Everyone greatly regretted your absence, which was the more unfortunate because neither Mr. Olney nor Prof. [Bronner?] was on hand. Prof. Serger, therefore, presided. I am now at work on the publication of the by-laws and list of members, and …

Articles

The period between the years 1860 and 1870 marks an interesting stage in the history of law reporting. Within this period a system of reporting that had existed for upward of three centuries came to an end, and an experiment was begun whereby it was hoped to produce reports not merely in a new way, but reports that were to be materially different in form and substance from those of the previous system. The conception of the enterprise and its successful accomplishment is due to the energy and discretion of one man, whose history of the affair, after twenty years …
