San Francisco, November 1st, 1907.
Dear Friend:-
Enclosed you will find a description of Hetch-Hetchy Valley, and a brief discussion of the immediate danger which threatens it Now.
If you are like minded with us, we ask you, (and others whom you may persuade,) to kindly address a personal letter, in your own words, essentially as follows:-
To the President, or to the Secretary of the Interior, or to both:-
Washington, D. C.
"As a lover of the Yosemite National Park, I most devoutly protest against the use of one of its most important and beautiful features, the Hetch-Hetchy, as a reservoir. An abundance of water can be had elsewhere to supply San Francisco."
Signed:.
Thanking you in advance for your attention to this request,
We are,
Yours truly,
John Muir,
Joseph N. LeConte,
Wm. F. Bade,
E. T. Parsons,
Wm. B. Colby.
