Letter From John Muir To G[Eorge] Perkins, [1902 Jan ?]., John Muir Jan 1902

Letter From John Muir To G[Eorge] Perkins, [1902 Jan ?]., John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

[First draft of letter, in note-book #59] (45)

[Jan.1902]

Hon. G[eorge] Perkins,
U. S. Senate,
Washington, D.C.

Dear Senator:

My friend Mr. T. P. Lukens of Pasadena writes me that in the reorganization of the Forestry Department a Superintendent of our forests is to be appointed, and he wants the place. Ha knows the Cal[ifornia] forests well, especially those of the South, has worked hard for their preservation, mostly at his own charge, and would, I have no doubt, be a faithful and efficient Superintendent or Supervisor.
With best wishes, I am,

Sincerely yours,
J. M.02840

Dear Mr. Muir:

I suppose you received the message sent in the Martinez correspondent of the "Examiner". To send such a message in such an abrupt business way is as embarrassing as it is to receive it; that I didn't like to use the same old picture of you that has been used so often and which I first printed when I was city editor of the Call, years ago. The Markham review came and

I must tell you that once, when I was desperate, I seized my pen and wrote a stagger at a story, a reminiscence of a tragedy in the early days of Mariposa, and I sent it to a magazine. The article was, of course, returned, saying that my language was to "Hi-fo-lu-tin", (if you know what that is.) Another said it was too "stilted" and another "not available" I may sometime let you read it, if you have patience. …

Your letter of last month fall of good wishes and of auld lang syne stirred many pleasant memories.

Eimbeck, it seems, is still at his much loved business of lecturing. Do you remember his Carson Desert lecture on lenses and …

My dear Millard:

I should have written long ago to thank yon for your kind letter and Markham's [review], and the generous glowing appreciation of my friend Keith's painting. You need not be afraid of over-praising Keith's work. I've known him and his work intimately over 30 years. He is a poet - easily the first of the color poets on this side of the continent.
Markham's review of the Parks is, I think, the best I have seen - far-seeing and original. As to his grand poems, have too …
