My dear Muir:

I do not for the life of me understand your reference to the trouble in Washington about the Yosemite Park boundary. I am sure that Pinchot or Senator Perkins could put you on the track of the facts and would be much more likely to do so for you than for me.

I am just in receipt of a letter from Major H. M. Chittenden and Mr. Frank Bond, members of the Commission to investigate "Conditions and Situations" in the Yosemite National Park, last summer.
