Mr. John Muir
Martinez Calif.
Dear Sir:
This to solicit your aid and great influence in furtherance of a project which has a living appeal to every lover of nature. It is the construction of a scenic bridle trail to connect Lake Tahoe and the Yosemite. This will of necessity be laid along the High Sierras, a region which you have made peculiarly your own.
A bill will be introduced to the Legislature now in Session by Senator Birdsall making an appropriation for the construction of such a trail under the direction of the State engineer. The proposition antagonizes no person nor interest so far as I can see, and should, and I think will, meet with enthusiastic support.
As president of the Sierra Club you can bring their influence to bear. A request from the Sierra Club would probably be all that is necessary to bring their support to the measure.
Can you help?
Yours Very Respectfully
Capt. Charles H. Robinson
