Dec. 22, '90

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I congratulate you on the success in the House of the Simonds bill. I have just written a brisk note to Senator Hearst, soliciting his vote and interest in favor of the prompt passage of the bill by the Senate. Would that I could do more for so just a cause! But, while my present ability to help doesn't amount to anything, I have the pleasant remembrance that as long as 20 years ago I was a pen-warrior against the piracy business, and so may flatter myself with the …

Dear Mr Johnson,

I am at home & have not made the King's River trip at all. After trying to get Keith & others to go with me I made up my mind to go alone & set the day for starting but my father-in-laws health was evidently failing so fast I had to give up the excursion. And it is well I did for in less than a week from the date of my intended start he died. He left us on the last day of October passing on to the better land calmly and …

1890 Sept. 20

Dear Muir;

The combat thickens, John P. Irish being on the warpath. I have just received two editorials from the Oakland Tribune and an intervening letter from Irish, all which you've doubtless seen. Every time he puts pen to paper he gives an opportunity to the friends of reform. I shall write a brief reply and after it is written perhaps I'll send it. You see the trick; to try to make votes by pretending to defend California's sacred honor & reputation which privately …

Mrs. John Muir,
Martinez, California.
My dear Mrs. Muir:-
I thank you very much for your obliging letter of the 27th of August which has just come to hand.
I am very glad to hear of Mr. Muir's success in Alaska.
We should prefer to have the article on the King's River Canon first, as I believe I wrote Mr. Muir the other day, because, first, we want to give Mr. Robinson some work to do, and, second, I think of suggesting to the Public Lands Committee the reservation of the Canon for a public park. The …

Features Of The Proposed Yosemite National Park., John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

FEATURES OF THE PROPOSE NATIONAL PARK. OSEMITE HE upper Tuolumne Valley is the widest, smoothest, most serenely spacious, and in every way the most delightful summer pleasure park in all the high Sierra. And since it is connected with Yosemite by two good trails, and with the levels of civilization by a broad, well- graded carriage-road that passes between Yosemite and Mount Hoffman, it is also the most accessible. It lies in the heart of the high Sierra at a height of from 8500 to 9000 feet above the level of the sea, at a distance of less than ten …

Welcome to your adopted country! Supposing that you will arrive at home about the time this letter reaches California, I send herewith our check in payment for your two articles, including also the use of your sketches.

Very sincerely yours,

I hope you will be able to go to the King's River Canon[diacritic] for I want to have a bill introduced to reserve it - (Can you send me a description of desirable limits?) and second I want to give Robinson something to do. He is hard up and he …

Dear Mr. Johnson:

We had hoped to welcome home our Alaska wanderer this week, but now letters and sketches have come instead from Glacier Bay. Mr. Muir writes that he feels well and strong, better than any time since he left the high Sierras though he has made a terribly hard exploration of the glacier heights and the icy wilderness of mountain peaks near the Muir Glacier. Although there were many days of fog and fierce storms after his arrival, he has had also

many glorious views in fine, brilliant sunshine, of that wonderful highland …

John Muir, Esq
Martinez, Gal.

My dear Mr. Muir:-

A thousand thanks for your Copyright rashness. It will help us very much. Things look better for the passage of thebill at the present session.
I appeared before the Public Lands Committee yesterday morning in advocacy of your limits. Vandever was present and lent the countenance of his support to my little speech. I was obliged to dissipate the Impression that this was an extension of the present park, and in doing so I had to give reasons why the extension should be made in that way; but …

I go to Washington this afternoon and hope to stir up the …

Dear Mr Johnson.

On receipt of your telegram I dashed of this Tuolumne stuff amid many interruptions & is not as good as it should be. Correct anything you see amiss. I am not sure that I understand your telegram but supposed the additional matter was intended for publication with the Yo article. If so I must ask you to see to the splicing as I have no copy of the other M.S. & cannot remember what I have already written. I was pegging away in a general Big Canon Article, when your telegram arrived. Do …

My dear Mr Johnson

I am glad you think MacKenzie is all right & that I am "all off" for he has done good work thus far though I have not yet seen a word in his letters that could injure the stage & hotel company & saddletrain company He was working for the Washbourns when we saw him & his last letter opposing the Vandever bill without good reason as far as I could see led me to believe he was still working in their interest. What disadvantage would result from the surrounding region being …

Dear Mr. Muir:

I have your two letters and thank you for them. I am sending the MS and will write you soon. Leave the Kings River Canon till another time, but give us the Tuolumne at once & cheer the heart of yours truly.

How auspicious an angel would grow in California! You are "all off" about Mackenzie, or I'm a pumpkin. I wish you would write me a letter to show to the Committee on Public Lands supporting the suggestion (your own by the way) to extend the Vandever limits. It need not …

John Muir;

"Dear my friend & fellow student, I would [lean?] my spirit oe'r you." Reading your exquisite descriptions in Picturesque California has given me an irresistible impulse to write to you; not to renew our friendship, for I will not admit that that has suffered a moment's break or decline. But I want to hear from you again & to know some things from you. I subscribed for Picturesque Cal. just before leaving Cal. last month, because you were its editor & principal writer. I have received five numbers, & the last …

Mr. John Muir,

My dear Mr. Muir,

I fear I have not yet acknowledged your kindness in relation to Keith's sketches and other illustrative material for your article. These came duly to hand and will not only be of use to "The Century", but will enable me to make more clear to the Committee on Public Lands the desirability of an extension of the National Park, as provided for in General Vanderver's bill.
My object in writing about the other article on the Yosemite was to relieve you from a hackneyed part in the subject, …
