I'm pegging away & have [invented?] a few good lines since coming here but it is a hard subject & goes slow. However I'll get it done somehow & sometime.

10 OAKLAND LEDGER. JOHN MUIR AND THE REPORTER. The writer recently visited the home of the explorer of the great Alaska glacier that bears his name, and spent about an hour with him in his study. A second meeting with him was held at the residence of California's famed educator John Swett. Then came a third meeting with Mr. Muir at his lovely home in the Alhambra Valley near Martinez. When I first met John M uir he expressed a horror at meeting newspaper men, and said they were almost a unit in misrepresenting things. I told him that I …

John Muir's Protest against the Wantonness of the Sheep-Herder and Lumberman- Value of the Forests.

Our gold and silver stored in the rocks may all …
