OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT FOR THE PEOPLE FOR EDUCATION FOR SCIENCETHE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY NEW YORK 16
January, 1914 My dear Mr. Muir: Mrs. Osborn and I were delighted to receive your letter of January fourth which gave us
the greatest pleasure. You will be interested to know that I am to give the Hitchcock Lectures at the University of California
February sixteenth to twentieth, five in all. Soon thereafter we hope to spend a day with you at Martinez if you expect to
be home. The Hetch Hetchy was a terrible blow, but it was absolutely inevitably the result, the plans had been laid so thoroughly,
and our friend Gifford Pinchot acting the part of Judas Iscariot. Mrs. Osborn sends her love and we hope that you may still
be at home when we come. Always your devoted friend, illegible Mr. John Muir.
