The other species, Adenostoma fasciculatum so abundant in the Sierra farming extension belts like heath just below the yellow pine, of course you know, often called "chamiso". Your species is restricted to the southern ranges, I first saw it on the San Jacinto Mtns back of San Diego I would like to see it in flower. It belongs to the rose family

December 1, 1900.

Dear Mr. Muir,

The suggestion about your autobiography which I sent you a week or two ago on the spur of the moment after a delightful talk with Mr. Burroughs was of course purely personal. I am happy now to write you that the project—or possibility—seems equally attractive to Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Company, and at the last meeting of the House in committee it was the unanimous wish that you should write your biography and give them the opportunity to publish it.
To all of us here the idea of the book is very engaging:—the untrammelled …

[Draft of short article, perhaps, or it may be that of a letter, though no address is attached, in note-book #59]

[NOV. 1900] (75)

I am utterly opposed to the injustice of exchanging denuded reserve lands for an equal number of acres [of] outside timber land. Not even for a much desired extension of a reserve should such unjust money-making schemes be for a moment encouraged. I for one am utterly opposed to it.
This Tahoe swindle has been planned years ago and pushed industriously. In particular the influence of the sierra Club has been persistently sought under plausible arguments …

In reply to my last letter you mentioned the 20th of this month as the time you would attend to your notice. I have waited five days. I will wait 2 days more, after which, if you do nothing, I will no longer wait, but put the matter in the hands of Mr. T.,our lawyer. Foreclosing the mortgage only makes expense and trouble. I have waited long. I will no longer wait than the two days mentioned above. If, then, you do not …

Mr. W. B. Parker:

I thank you for your kind letter concerning autobiography. What autobiographical material J[ohn] Burroughs referred to I don't know. I hope to get some more important matters off my hand before trying the story of my life, which contains but little of general interest. I was a skilful mountaineer, and therefore had few adventures, and my wildest climbs and scrambles were as uneventful as - - Mr. J[ohnson] of the Century Co. has been at me for a long time [letter unfinished]

book is one which would delight a great many people if if were done, and it may be that the acceptance of a third task would hasten the completion of the other two.
As I wrote you when the "Fountains and Streams" paper, which reached us three or four weeks ago, came, we are glad to have it. There remains, as I remember, still to come one paper of those necessary to make up the National Parks book, and I should be very glad if we could be sure of bringing this out in the spring.

I'm sorry this season has not been fruitful in haws, preventing the speedy ending of the already long drawn out Crataegus chapter of your book But in spite of the short crop of haws & the [Rome?] beds & loneliness you must have had a grand trip. Anyhow You'll get no pity from me as long as you are free to wander in the glorious Eastern forests. About how many more years are you going to give to Crataegus? You seem to count on longevity rivaling Sequoia.

I would have gladly left off writing to attend the Com. meeting at the Palace if I thought I could do any good. But my …
