illegible 1907 11-28 Theo. Roosevelt, President of the U. S. Washington, D. C. Honored Sir:-- I am a lover of nature
and particularly of the Yosemite National Park. I most emphatically and sincerely protest against the invasion of one of its
most magnificent and hospitable features-Hetch-Hetchy Valley-by its proposed use as a water reservoir, thus destroying its
use as a camping site for the thousands that otherwise will continue resorting to it in the future. It is admitted that there
are several ample sources of water supply for San Francisco without so unnecessarily encroaching on and destroying this magnificent
property of the Nation. Yours respectfully, illegible 06241
