20? Martinez, March 14, 1893. My dear Mr Johnson. I was greatly surprised yesterday when I made the discovery that Mr
Warren Olney the Vice President of the Sierra Club is a friend of John P. Irish And I have good reason to believe that he
is working for Irish s appointment to the office of Land Commissioner. I think he has just written to Smith the new Sec of
the Interior in his favor. He told me yesterday that he was going to write. I told him what I thought of Irish how he had
treated? you Yosemite, He replied that all this was shameful nevertheless he had many good qualities etc, etc. I have called
a meeting of the directors of the club to draw up an address to Noble recognizing the glorious forest work he has done thanking
him
