Transcription:
Martinez, Nov, 2/08 Dear Mr Colby, I've gone carefully over this stunning big stick article of yours, have made, or rather
suggested a few changes. which I think you will approve. My aim has been to tone down a few of the most extreme statemen ts?
cut out redundancies make the argument clos es? a litter clearer perhaps more directly telling. But these changes are offered
only as suggestions to be approved or rejected as seems best to you. I believe we'll lick the park plunderers Ever yours
faithfully John Muir
