Dear Mr. Muir--

Will you attend the dinner, per enclosed card, next Monday, as my guest? I think it will be worth your while. A number of bright men will be there--Bishop Nichols presiding. While it is a church club, it is entirely social and free--
If you can come, please be at my room at the Palace Hotel, No 622--6th floor--at say 5 o'clock, & we will have an hour's chat about New England.

Your friend

Dear Mr. Muir,

Just after meeting you I received word of the appointment of the Sierra Club's committee.
I [enclose?] you a copy of the bill drawn up by Major Po[m?]le--cut by the same pattern as the one by which the Yellowstone was made. Prof. F[illegible]'s bill has a hearing this week. We grant that much courtesy, but wait no longer. There will probably be hearings before the Senate Committee on Public Lands and then we hope that our scientists [etc?] will come down heavy with arguments.
I hope you will make Mr. Johnson …

Dear Mr. Muir -

When you were with us last summer, did you not say, through the Sierra Club, you would get a law before the Legislature to protect the singing birds of California?
I understand so, and have started a petition with that understanding. There is a Mr. Flint of the Town and Country or Sportsman Club who is a member of the Legislature this term, who has something of the kind in hand. Would it be too much trouble for you to write to him at Sacramento, or to …

Dear Mr. Muir:

The 'Mountains' came to us, I suppose because we could not go to the mountains! How kind and thoughtful of you, as ever.
We are reading it together, Mother and I, and it simply fascinates us. The music and color of it remind us of Shelley, while the strength combined make it all your own.
