[1914?]My good friend,It was very good of you to tell me of your well-being. And so I think of you in the "Better Land" — not the Promised Land that is "being prepared for us, but the future without doubt is wisely hidden from us. I have thought of my future so much that I feel it cannot be very far away and of my good boy that you speak so kindly of as my Ministering Spirit, and to me it does not seem very far-fetched or very presuming to think and feel our ways are made for us and …

Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates Jan 1914

Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates

Articles

That the practice of law and the administration of justice are under a fire of popular distrust and criticism of extraordinary intensity requires no proof. A fact of which there is evidence in numerous contemporary books, in almost every magazine, in the daily papers, in the remarks, or the questions, or it may be in the sneers, of one's friends, requires no further demonstration. The only questions of importance to be answered are to what extent this criticism and this distrust are well founded, what are the remedies for such defects as exist, and how and by whom should they …

Martinez California,

Dear Miss Harwood:

Many thanks for your kind letter. Though the park destroyers by disgraceful means have managed to get their bill through Congress, the battles we have fought for the Yosemite Park during the last twelve years have not been in vain. The whole country has been aroused to the danger all our parks and playgrounds are exposed to, and invasions like that of San Francisco are hardly to be looked for in future. Anyhow we have done the best we could and must now turn to other work.
With all good New Years wishes …
