LAW OFFICES WILLOUGHBY RODMAN ROOMS 43T-440 CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK BLDG, LOS ANGELES, CAL Los Angeles, March 31, 1909.
Mr. John Muir, Pasadena, Cal. My Dear Mr. Muir: I write to extend to you a hearty and cordial invitation to attend the
monthly banquet of the University Club of Los Angeles, April 8, 1909, at 6 P. M. We hope to be honored by the presence of
Mr. John Burroughs. To have you two together at one of its meetings, would be a great event in the history of our club. We
shall ask you to say a word or two, but shall not trespass upon your time to a great extent. I have derived so much pleasure,
profit and inspiration from your talks, that I wish my club brethren to share the privilege with me. This invitation comes
from me as director and chairman of the housing committee of the club, and. to it I add my own cordial and earnest request.
As a member of the Sierra Club, as a citizen of California, and as a man, I have been more pleased than I can express by your
efforts against the Hetch-Hetchy steal. You have done a noble work, and we are all proud of it, and of you. I earnestly hope
you may be able to be with us. Kindly let me know if we may expect you. Very truly yours, illegible 04464
