Raymond, Fresno Co., Cal.

Dec. 25., 1890.

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I enclose a clipping of an article of mine. A few land-grabbers are endeavoring to create opposition to the Park, and the Yosemite ring is trying to help them in an underhand way. If the landgrabbers were wise they would not seek to draw attention to themselves. If W. S. Land officials would do their duty there would be a devil of a rumpus over the timber that has been grabbed by "syndicates" and others in the Park region. I see a report that Mr. Special Inspector Newsham has returned …

My dear brother John, and Sister Louie,

It does not seem so very long since we were exchanging Christmas greetings, and yet we are just about to enter upon a new year, and soon will have passed another of the milestones on our life journey, as we pass along the way, dear ones are leaving us for the better land; and we go on, under the clouds, if we try to go alone, but amid the sunshine (even if we do not see it sometimes) if truly under the guidance and direction of our …

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I congratulate you on the success in the House of the Simonds bill. I have just written a brisk note to Senator Hearst, soliciting his vote and interest in favor of the prompt passage of the bill by the Senate. Would that I could do more for so just a cause! But, while my present ability to help doesn't amount to anything, I have the pleasant remembrance that as long as 20 years ago I was a pen-warrior against the piracy business, and so may flatter myself with the …

Martinez Dec. 14, 1890.

Dear Mr. Johnson,

[in margin: Ever Yours John Muir.]

I send you a few of my sketches of the two Kings River Yosemites some of which you may want. I went to Robinson's studio a few days ago to see what he was doing. He has about eight large sketches on pasteboard for the South Fork Yosemite. None for the Middle Fork, which he has not seen. His sketches are grand affairs but are all made up of rock showing no level floor. They might be used as illustrations of almost any of the grand canon. …

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I am settled for a time near the above address. I came down by way of Wawona, purposely to learn something about Mr. Newsham's intentions. I learned enough to satisfy me that he proposes to make a sort of white-washing report of the condition of the Valley and of the Grove; furthermore, that all his recommendations are likely to have been suggested by the Washburns. After I came here I received …

Dear Mr. Johnson:

I have been here for a week, taking care of a man whom I found here injured while at work on a bridge and unable to help himself. Yesterday I went to the Valley for mail, and rec'd your note of the 3d. I also found that a Mr. Newsham, a representative of the Interior Dep't, had arrived on Sunday, coming to the Valley with Henry Washburn in the latter's private buggy. In fact, on my way down to the Valley, I met Mr. Newsham coming up the trail …

Dear Mr Johnson,

I am at home & have not made the King's River trip at all.

And it is well I did for in less than a week from the date of my intended start he died. He left us on the last day of October passing on to the better land calmly and …

Dear Mrs. Muir:-

If Mr. Muir has not returned from the King's River Canon when this reaches you, will you kindly write him that it might be worth while for him to visit also the Tulare Big Tree reservation. The Secretary of the Interior is making inquires as to the best way to take care of these recently reserved parks, and any information which Mr. Muir could give, would be of great use. Also such a trip might furnish him material for an additional page to the King's River Canon article.

I cannot give exact location of my 1880 camp. But it was within a few rods of that group of tree stumps near your South Station across the camp stream.
