Raymond, Cal., Dec. 3, ‘91

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I encountered Henry Washburn last evening at Raymond. He was furiously wroth, refereed to Noble as a damned son of a skunk (to use Mark Twain’s paraphrase,) and was ready to curse everybody. He was very mad at the Examiner, which has an article quoting Mr. Noble as having said that 600 to 800 acres in Yosemite are fenced in and under cultivation. I don’t believe Mr. Noble’s report could have said that. I hope it did not make that error, because nothing like that much land has ever been cultivated …

I have just time to acknowledge receipt of your fifteen original sketches of Alaska glaciers, and of the letters relating to the Yosemite, to which I will give attention as soon as possible.
In the report of the Secretary of the Interior, to appear on Monday next, he backs up the friends of the reform in Yosemite, and also has the following paragraph which will interest you:

Dear Mr. Johnson:

Yours of the 17th rec’d yesterday. Thank you for the proof of that article, which appears to be about the right thing for the occasion. It ought to suggest to Californians a good deal more than is expressly set down. I hear that a force of wood-choppers are slashing right and left in the neighborhood of “The farm” in Yosemite. Undoubtedly some little thinning of young trees might not be amiss there, but I shudder to think what the result of the present work will be. When I first knew …

You spoke some time ago of sending that map "tomorrow", and the day after your letter came your blue map arrived and also a sketch map of the Canon from Robinson, both of which we have had drawn. Your Canon map is, however, so much better than Robinson's, that we shall throw the latter away.

Dont feel able to write well – but of course I must haggle through the article I promised in some way. I mean to …

I have not yet brought up publicly the question of military rule in Yosemite; but have privately circulated an address, to gather some signatures as a nucleus for a more general congregation after a time, if necessary. I have been waiting to hear if the Overland will publish an article I offered tin that direction. In January the editor wrote to me that I would hear from him soon; but the time for effective agitation is wearing away, and I will not wait much longer. There is no shadow …

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.

Thank you very much for the sketches of the Kings River Yosemite. They will be of use to us in the illustration of your article. Possibly we may redraw some of them.

Many thanks for the information in your letter of the 17th. I owe you many excuses, too, for the persistency with which I have troubled you with my letters, when you have so much work on hand. There will probably be less occasion hereafter for my assaults on your patience. At present I wish to say that if the Secretary of the Interior shall carry out the military scheme it will be the final destruction of any hope of improving matters around the Yosemite.
