[letterhead]Jan. 12, 1910Mr. John Muir:Thank you for your letter of Jan. 6. Adverse circumstances alone have prevented my becoming "a mountaineer" before this time. I shall write to the Sierra Club at once and hope to learn later that you have been persuaded to join in the next outing, for rumor has reported you so distinctly the soul of the party that no other name has been associated with it. You can appreciate how "impossible" the usual tourist party becomes when brought face to face with the elemental things of nature.Sincerely yoursJosephine A. Chase04680

26Martinez, Cal. Jan. 8, 1910—Dear Mr Ballinger:I think with you that definite action on the Hetch Hetchy affairs had better be delayed until after the San Francisco bond vote.The outgoing administration is strongly in favor of the bonds for buying Spring Valley, as well as for those for the so called Hetch Hetchy system. But the incoming Labor Union Mayor McCarthy is strongly opposed to buying Spring Valley and it seems likely the bonds for this purpose will be voted down. Next week we shall know.Anyhow it is clear that as long as private claims are allowed in National parks, …
