Letter From John Muir To Mina Merril, 1902 Jan 8., John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

[Original letter returned to Miss M. Merrill]

Martinez, California,
January 8th, 1902.

Dear Mina Merrill:

You don't know how glad I am to get your New Year's letter - glad and sad. I hear the kind and gentle tones of your voice in it, and see you and your beloved sister as if I were beside you. Old days and present days are as one. For, with loved ones, new places and people, time, distance, and geography are of non effect.
I know your natural sorrow and loneliness. You are lonely, yet not lonely. Your sister still lives with you …

Dear Sir,

I thank you very sincerely for your telegram of the 4th to the Commission. In the campaign last fall, I refused to allow the officers under me to leave there legitimate work for political work, & declined a demand for campaign money. Also a supervisor who was a political friend of a Congressman was discharged for inefficiency, or worse. And there was a charge I cannot account for that I had "antagonized" the Water & [illegible] Association. Under the circumstances I thought it allowable to write & …

My dear Mr Millard

Many thanks for Markham's Poems in which I expect to find many fine strong lines. As far as I am concerned you are welcome to as much as you like of my book; the more widely it is published & republished & echoed back & forth the better. But permission from Houghton Mifflin should be obtained as the firm controls selections etc though copyright is in my name. No doubt your request will be granted gladly. Hoping to see you ere long I am yours

sincerely John Muir

My Dear Mr. Muir;

Though I know some of the Forest Reserves fairly well, particularly the Olympic and Bitter Root Reserves, the only opportunity I have had of observing the methods by which they are guarded, was during a trip I made in the company of the Rangers of the Bitter Root Reserve, a year ago last summer. I was very much disappointed, I had hoped that it would be guarded and preserved, the beautiful wilderness that it is.
I met three Rangers that trip, two of them I traveled with for a month, and …

COLUMBIA GLACIER NOTES ON THE PACIFIC COAST GLACIERS BY JOHN MUIR HE glaciers that load the mountains of the Pacific Coast form a belt about two thousand miles long, of which the south half is mostly narrow and broken, the north continuous and broad.

I send these clippings to give a few hints as to the sheep and forests. Please return them. If you have a file of "The Forester" handy you might turn to the Feb. and July numbers of 1898, and the June of one 1900, for solemn discussions of the "proper regulation" of sheep grazing.
With the patronage of the business in the hands of the Western politician, the so-called proper regulation of sheep grazing by the Forestry Dept. is as hopelessly vain as would be laws and regulations for the …
