Martinez June 9th 1890 My dear Mr Johnson, Yours of M 28 received. I am glad the additional Tuolumne material answers
your purposes regret that lack of knowledge on my part has thrown so much patching editorial work on you. The Post editorial
is good. I admire your pluck and perseverence in so worthy a fight as on this the copyright. I send a few clippings. Saw Fitch
of the Bulletin the other day asked him sharply how he could oppose copyright. He said they had not opposed the bill very
much - a mean answer. I suppose this raising of the price of literature is what most publishers fear. The copyright rhyme
is good but rather too long I will try to get it republished.
