Dear Mr. Muir:-

Mr. Burroughs, who is at my elbow, says to give you his love and say that he will match grapes with you any day. He says that when he goes West he will fill his pockets with his finest specimens. He also says, that if you two do not meet in this world, you will be sure to meet in the next by sheer force of elective affinity.

My dear Mrs. Graydon:

I am glad to hear from you once more. You say you thought on account of long silence we might be dead, but the worst that could be fairly said is "not dead but sleeping,"-hardly even this for, however silent sound friendship never sleeps, no matter how seldom paper letters fly between.
My heart aches about Janet - one of the sad, sad, sore cases that no human wisdom can explain. We can only look on the other side through tears and grief and pain and see that pleasure surpasses the …

Dear Mr. Muir:-

I thank you for your letter of the 14th inclosing Mr. McAllister's.
I do not care three straws on what basis the Yosemite is receded if only it be receded. I think it would be better to recede it on general principles rather than to go into the scandal; but one thing must be clearly understood,- that if it is not receded at the present session of your* Legislature , I shall have a Congressional …

My dear Mr Johnson

I am delighted with the salvation of the Sierra forests from the Tuolumne to the Kern River. As to the recession of Yosemite to the National Park it must be made very soon in the natural order of things, but no new bill can be got before this session of our legislature Our Sierra Club altogether refused to make a fight at present on account of mismanagement, but the enclosed resolution was forwarded to Senator McAllister a few days ago. What its fate or effect may be I dont know. Markham …

My dear Mr Johnson.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Sierra Club last Saturday I urged your views as to the advantages of pushing the Yosemite recession question to a vote in our legislature All were opposed or doubtful as to the wisdom if doing so, though recognizing the value of keeping the matter alive by agitation in the papers & by attacking the annual appropriation for Yosemite when it comes up in the legislature. All seem to think that at present the question of mismanagement should be held in abeyance, but that …

I wrote to the editor of the Republican (which is the chief newspaper in the San Joaquin Valley south of Stockton) that I would send him something more about the Valley, which he could dispose of as …

Whether Irish really wrote the article in the Expositor I don’t know, It reads, however, much like him, and I have no doubt that it was suggested by him. The present editor of that paper is …

In the course of a conversation I had with you last September, in the cars between Portland and San Francisco, you called my attention to the entire absence of fishes from many of the higher lakes and streams of the Sierras, particularly I believe, in the region between Kings River and Owens River. As the U.S. Fish Commission would give careful consideration to suggestions for stocking such waters, perhaps you would be sufficiently interested in the matter to give me a list of such lakes and …
