John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

West Park, N.Y.Mch.31,[1910?].Dear John Muir:I am sure you will be glad to know that I have changed the Yosemite paper--cut out much of the matter that displeased you.

early appointment of a nominating committee. For some reasons a geographical distribution of its membership is desirable and the use of the mail renders it a feasible if not ideal method. Perhaps it might be well if the appointment were made before the summer holidays.How much we desired your presence at our last annual meeting!- the largest we have had, and a body of men that I know it would have delighted you to meet, as they also would have been glad to do you honor. Possibly the pleasure is only deferred. Surely we hope for an opportunity to grasps …
