Will try to in a few days after a short visit I'm about to make to my daughter on the Mohave desert. I've been crying "Save the forests" for at least 30 years, but most of the work actually accomplished was done on your suggestions or guidance after 1890.As to the H. Hetchy the Supervisors have decided to have a vote taken on the question of $750,000 - to purchase land & rights required, I enclose a few clippings. Mr Colby has been watching every moment while I was away, & he can give you more complete imformationI'll take your advice on the Carr letters, & amever faithfully yours John Muir
