Martinez, Cal., April 28/05.

Dear Mr. Johnson:-

I am very sorry that I could1nt go to Yosemite with your friend Mrs. Woodhouse. I saw her however, before she started on the trip and after she returned. She had a fine time and seemed perfectly delighted. I should like very much to know her better.
Finck's Yosemite article in the Post is capital. We shall probably need lots more of his help before everything under the new management can be got to going smoothly. What a glorious park the floor of the Valley may be made by such an architect as …

How well you have borne the burden of joy & grief, heat & cold of your 90 year day, & in the midst of it all going again & again round the world like a moon. Surely few lives have been happier than yours, always doing some good, radiating smile-beams through dark & light, steadfast & true like a tree in all sorts …

Dear Sir:-

We have pleasure in sending you under separate cover a copy of the first issue of our now magazine.
Would you be interested to prepare for some future number of it (not too far in the future we hope) an article which might be called "The Life of a River", tracing a stream from its source in a glacier to its fall into the sea? We hope the idea will appeal to you, and if it does we promise to provide an appropriate setting …

Dear Muir:

It is a great pleasure to have your faithful co-operation in the work we are trying to do; and I thank you heartily for it. It is mighty nice too, to have Helen take membership in the Sequoya League. I enclose receipt.
You will be glad to know that the work is going ahead at least as fast as we have any right to expect. Congress is always slow and stupid; and it has knocked out the appropriation for a commission. But I think that Commissioner Leupp who is a good man, will stop here …

Of all the Californians I know General Bidwell in my opinion best deserves a place in Statuary Hall.

The greatest of this West In the early days while others riddled the Sierra gulches in a wild storm of energy & the whole atmosphere peoples & all seemed yellow with gold …

Learning from Dr. Merriam that you are writing on the yosemites, it occurred to me that you might find some of my photographs useful - for illustration. Here are a few of them, including one little glacier. I have a number of views also showing glacial sculpture above timber.

Dear Muir:

Many thanks for your note. Glad you like the Manual which has cost me a year of as hard work as any I have ever done. Can't you make it known in California through the newspapers? I daresay there are many people in the state who might find it useful if they knew about it. It takes, you know, a long time for the knowledge of such things to get abroad.
I like your flitting proposition pretty well and am thinking of it, but your beloved Crataegus is holding me pretty …

A National Issue. The Hetch Hetchy To Be Saved To All Who Are Interested In The Conservation Of Our National Parks, John Muir Mar 1905

A National Issue. The Hetch Hetchy To Be Saved To All Who Are Interested In The Conservation Of Our National Parks, John Muir

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

A NATIONAL ISSUE The Hetch Hetchy to be Saved To all who- are interested in the conservation of our National Parks: Secretary of the Interior, Richard A. Ballinger, has recently taken a decided step for which he should be warmly commended. He has called upon the authorities of San Francisco to show cause why that portion of the Garfield permit giving the city a conditional right to flood the famous Hetch Hetchy Valley should not be revoked. The sentiment of the public is very general that San Francisco should not invade the Yosemite Park and destroy scenery of unrivaled beauty. …

Martinez, Mar. 23, '05.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I knew that the management of the public lands in question had been transferred to the Bureau of Forestry of the Agricultural Department, but I got the impression somehow that the National Parks were not included in the transfer and that they would continue to be protected by soldiers under direction of the Secretary of the Interior. Anyhow, I suppose no important change will be made for the coming season. What a glorious chance this gives to the President to distinguish himself and bless all the …

I'm hard at work on the little article I promised you and hope to get it off my hands early next month. It has taken far more time than I expected. It is a description of a great winter flood in Yosemite. I don't think that any illustrations that could be furnished would do the article any good.

In the invisible world about us are the great powers and forces which uphold and move the world which we see. Of the two worlds the invisible is the older and the greater. We came from the unseen realm, we return to it. We think it is even more hospitable country than this sunny world in which we now live. Many of us, perhaps all of us, have friends in the unseen land. One of us after another fades out of the Visible into the Invisible. We ought not to deplore this too much, especially if we have faith …

Dear Mr. Fiske:

Your letter of March 6th to our friend Keith he has forwarded to me. I don't believe there is the slightest danger of your being turned out of Yosemite Valley. If only one ph[otographer]should be left in the Valley, I think every right-minded person in the country would agree that you were that one. It seems to me unlikely that any great changes will be made in Yosemite management during the coming season. But anyhow, whenever a good word from me can be of any service to you …
