Mr. R. U. Johnson,
Associate to Editor,
Century Magazine,
New York City:

Dear Sir:

Yours of the 25th instant has been received, in regard to the report made upon the Yosemite Valley. This was sent forward some weeks ago to the Senate, where it has lain since unnoticed. I will have Senator Plumb's attention called to it, and the business may be considered before the adjournment. Possibly you could do something yourself towards drawing attention to it.

Yours truly,
John W. Noble,
Secretary.

I have been waiting to hear if the Overland will publish an article I offered tin that direction.

Dear Sir,

My delay in returning the paper on John Muir is owing to two causes. On his return from Alaska, Mr. Muir was so busy with his “grape crop” that for three months he could find no time to give me the “bibliography” and other detail necessary to fill out the article. Then owing to a political [illegible] incident to election to the office of City Superintendant the completion of the paper was delayed.

There will probably be less occasion hereafter for my assaults on your patience. At present I wish to say that if the Secretary of the Interior shall carry out the military scheme it will be the final destruction of any hope of improving matters around the Yosemite. The soldier idea is exactly …
