Mrs, Richard Swain,

That you have so long remembered that sketch of the wind-storm in the forest of the Yuba gives me pleasure and encouragement in the midst of this hard life work, for to me it is hard, far harder than tree or mountain climbing. When I began [my] wanderings in God's wilds I never dreamed of writing a word for publication, and since beginning literary work it has never seemed possible that much good to others could come of it.

I would gladly comply with your wishes for the Forestry number of the California University Magazine if I could.

I would gladly go to Tamalpais and a thousand times farther to stay the ruthless destruction of [the] forests you refer to.

I am now at work on a book on the forest parks and reservations which I hope to get out soon.
I hope, however, that a block of redwoods may yet be saved …
