Transcription:
Martinez March 23, 1895 My dear Mr Johnson, Yes, come on I'll go with you to Alaska or any other wild where Fiery Tesla
of course ought to go to Alaska to blend his fire Aurora in ice. I'm sorry for Tesla in loosing his models papers etc but
not half so sorry as you are. As an inverntor I know that everything is saved in his own brain. no burning that spares Tesla
can possibly be very significant. Now do come I'll go. Mrs. M. is wild to see Tesla. I'm glad to learn that you are at last
pleased with my two Alaska articles I did my best on them. Come on, I'll go anywhere with the Johnsons, I have seen nothing
on the cutting down of the Yosemite Park. Ever Yours John Muir
