Dear Helen. I suppose you are stopping at grandpas now. & I am far away but I think of you all the time, & miss you very much.

We saw a lot of whales spouting about & [illegible] themselves & looking at the ship. & many beautiful

birds that live on the water & yet never get wet & …

Martinez June 9th 1890

My dear Mr Johnson,

Yours of M 28 received. I am glad the additional Tuolumne material answers your purposes & regret that lack of knowledge on my part has thrown so much patching editorial work on you. The Post editorial is good. I admire your pluck and perseverence in so worthy a fight as on this & the copyright. I send a few clippings. Saw Fitch of the Bulletin the other day & asked him sharply how he could oppose copyright. He said they had not opposed the bill very much - a mean answer. I …

John Muir, Esq
Martinez, Gal.

My dear Mr. Muir:-

A thousand thanks for your Copyright rashness. It will help us very much. Things look better for the passage of thebill at the present session.
I appeared before the Public Lands Committee yesterday morning in advocacy of your limits. Vandever was present and lent the countenance of his support to my little speech. I was obliged to dissipate the Impression that this was an extension of the present park, and in doing so I had to give reasons why the extension should be made in that way; but …

My, dear Brother John:

Well, by the heading you know where we now are. We have been here about (or rather over) two weeks, and a busy time we have had trying to convert an ill-kept bachelor's hall into something like a home. Harry did not trouble himself much about how things looked, and I am glad May and I are able or have a chance to make our men folks more comfortable, though we have Mr. pile, the Englishman I spoke of who wants to go into keeping a few sheep with John.

My dear Mr Johnson -

I have just written to our congressmen, every mothers son of them on the copyright bill & marvel greatly at my termerity in thus plunging recklessly into this new field of literature. I forward corrected proof of the Yo. article today. When you telegraphed for a description of the Tuolumne region I was busy on an independent article on the big Canon none of which was available as an addition to the Yo article. Therefore I had to dash off what I sent you which I fear you will find to …

Dear Mr Johnson.

On receipt of your telegram I dashed of this Tuolumne stuff amid many interruptions & is not as good as it should be. Correct anything you see amiss. I am not sure that I understand your telegram but supposed the additional matter was intended for publication with the Yo article. If so I must ask you to see to the splicing as I have no copy of the other M.S. & cannot remember what I have already written. I was pegging away in a general Big Canon Article, when your telegram arrived. Do …

John Muir, Esq.,

Dear Mr. Muir:

Your article was much too long for our purposes and for our space; but by dint of omissions, chiefly of the detailed descriptions of the Water-Palls, (which will still be good by themselves but which were on too large a scale for the picture we wanted to present, and also by the omission of the historical part relating to the Yosemite, I have brought it within our limits. But why, oh why, did you not send with it a short description of the Tuolumne Canyon, Meadows, and Mt. Lye …

I am glad you think MacKenzie is all right & that I am "all off" for he has done good work thus far though I have not yet seen a word in his letters that could injure the stage & hotel company & saddletrain company He was working for the Washbourns when we saw him & his last letter opposing the Vandever bill without good reason as far as I could see led me to believe he was still working in their interest. What disadvantage would result from the surrounding region being …

Dear Mr Johnson,

I have just received yours of the 14th & make haste to answer it. I dont like Mack's last Times letter at all. The truth is, unless I am very much mistaken, he is with the adversary as an attorney. As long as he was dealing in generalities looking forward to what the present Yo. management wanted most of all, the extension of the grant, he did well. But as I knew all along that he was with the Washburn's or R.R. Co. I have been watching sharply for him to show his …

Plenty more botanists left but none we love like them. Men more amiable apart from their intellectual power I never knew - so perfectly clean and pure they were - pure as lilies yet tough & unyielding in mental fibre as live oaks. O dear!

I fear I have not yet acknowledged your kindness in relation to Keith's sketches and other illustrative material for your article. These came duly to hand and will not only be of use to "The Century", but will enable me to make more clear to the Committee on Public Lands the desirability of an extension of the National Park, as provided for in General Vanderver's bill.
My object in writing about the other article on the Yosemite was to relieve you from a hackneyed part in the subject, …
