You are welcome to the uses of as much as you like of my Seq [Sequoia] article. But you should get consent of the Atlantic.
I spent 2 or 3 days this spring among the Big [Basin] Redwoods. A magnificent park easy of access[ible] but friends of the noble tree should strive together to purchase a much larger block in the heart of the [main] belt for a National Park.
No end to variety and form of roots.
Have no [particular] photos of roots
[root system [communicates] with tree] Only small portion of roots upturned to view. They spread far & wide. An entire root system brought to light wld [would] be a wonderful spectacle.

I am utterly opposed to the injustice of exchanging denuded [reserve] lands for an equal number of acres outside [limitless/timber] land. Not even for a much desired extension of a reserve should such unjust money making schemes be for a moment encouraged. I for one am utterly opposed to it.
This Tahoe swindle has been planned yrs [years] ago & pushed [by] industriously. In particular the influence of the Sierra Club has been persistently sought under plausible arguments in wh [which] the injustice of the exchange has been concealed.
In a word then I am in favor of the extension of the Tahoe Reserve by just means, only. The grossest frauds against the [government]
