Martinez Apr 3, 1903

Dear Sir:

I prefer No. 5 of the Yosemite trip itineraries. I would suggest a slight change in it for May 17th going up the trail only as far as the foot of the Upper Yosemite Fall, a thousand feet above the Valley floor, instead of to the head of it. And for May 18th perhaps it would be better for most of the party to leave out the Signal Peak trip, since the time is so short & the rides so long. Too much will be crowded into the four days anyhow. Rapid restless motion …

My dear Sir:

President Wheeler, who has left Berkeley today for a week's absence, has asked me to request your opinion in regard to the comparative merits of these itineraries for the Yosemite journey.

Mann had submitted the other four. He assures me that there will be no difficulty in its execution. This itinerary has seemed to President …
