But in order to print your article in the May number. we ought to have the text here by the 25th of February. I have a special reason for wanting this article to be the best thing that you have written.Our records show that "The Discovery of Glacier Bay" was returned to you on the 5th of December, and the Alaska Trip was returned on the 19th. I hope you have received the latter* as well as the former.
Sargent, Pinchot, Stiles and I are moving-for the appointment of a forest commission to look over the whole field and recommend a permanent policy, and the plan is to agitate
