Transcription:
Dear Agnes: Keep this in your archives. Affectionately Martinez Apr. 15 1902 R. U. J.1 My dear Johnson I have heard
nothing of buried city Guess its April fool. The Canon is a huge thing to write about, the end of my poor article is not
yet in sight-- As to Yosemite recession most everybody believes in it but politicians hang on to the patronage connected
with it like grim death. But I'll try to see what can be done. I suppose the legislature meets next winter -- Grandfather
congratulations well may you brag--Your son in law I suppose makes you equal to a great grandfather--One of the finest fellows
you ever know etc etc--But for a' that a' that I say Agnes is fine enough for the finest of them all. When are you coming
hither Alaska way--not I suppose until multiplication goes on as far as a car load Remember me to Mrs Johnson. Good luck
to the Holdens, Ever Yours, John Muir 1 Robert Underwood Johnson holograph note, envelope enclosed 10032
