Dear Mr. Muir:

You probably know all about this already 'but a bright and pleasant young man here insists that there is only one best view in the Yosemite, and that it is not generally known, and that you can see four of the five falls from it-all at once. I send along his communication and directions for what they are worth, which you will know better than I.
