Mr. Gilder desires me to say that we want the refusal of anything you write about the Yellowstone in case you go through there next year. But I should think you would be more interested to make the complete ascent of Mt. St. Elias, so that next year we should be able to include it in the announcement of …

John Muir, Esq
Martinez, California.

My dear Muir:-

You have probably seen that the Yosemite National Park bill has passed and has been signed by the President, and also that the resolution has passed the Senate authorizing and directing the Secretary of the Interior to make an investigation of the Yosemite abuses. This latter resolution has grown out of what I have said about the Yosemite, though I did not think it necessary to push that side of it at the present session; but the Yosemite bill is of course the result of your very outspoken reference …

Dear Muir;

The combat thickens, John P. Irish being on the warpath. I have just received two editorials from the Oakland Tribune and an intervening letter from Irish, all which you've doubtless seen. Every time he puts pen to paper he gives an opportunity to the friends of reform. I shall write a brief reply and after it is written perhaps I'll send it. You see the trick; to try to make votes by pretending to defend California's sacred honor & reputation which privately …

OSEMITE HE upper Tuolumne Valley is the widest, smoothest, most serenely spacious, and in every way the most delightful summer pleasure park in all the high Sierra. And since it is connected with Yosemite by two good trails, and with the levels of civilization by a broad, well- graded carriage-road that passes between Yosemite and Mount Hoffman, it is also the most accessible. It lies in the heart of the high Sierra at a height of from 8500 to 9000 feet above the level of the sea, at a distance of less than ten …
