Letter From Theodore Roosevelt To John Muir, 1903 Mar 14., Theodore Roosevelt

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

WHITE HOUSE,

WASHINGTON.

March 14, 1903.

My dear Mr. Muir:

Through the courtesy of President Wheeler I have already been in communication with you, but I wish to write you personally to express the hope that you will be able to take me through the Yosemite. I do not want anyone with me but you, and I want to drop politics absolutely for four days and just be out in the open with you. John Burroughs is probably going through the Yellowstone Park with me, and I want to go with you through the Yosemite.

Sincerely yours,

[illegible]

John Muir, …

Dr. C. Rowell,

My dear Sir:-

The High Sierra is always open and hospitable to Mountaineers afoot, but with pack animals nearly all the region above an elevation of 7000 or 8000 feet is inaccessible until about the end of June. If the Presidents trip must be short, and be made in April or May I agree with you that he had better go to Yosemite by public conveyance. And from the Valley as a central camp, excursions could be made afoot to high points around the rim commanding general views of the …

Dear Miss [Hawley]

I thank you for your kind letter. It is always encouraging to know from words like yours that one's books have not been written in vain - that one's calls to behold God's works have not been in vain.
You will be welcomed by the Sierra Club, come when you may, for its main object is to encourage people to go to the mountains and enjoy them. The mountains, too, will welcome you.
