Transcription

Martinez June 9th 1890My 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 suppose this raising of the price of literature is what most publishers fear. The copyright rhyme is good but rather too long I will try to get it republished.
