Transcription:
Martinez May 27, 1890. My dear Mr Johnson - I have just written to our congressmen, every mothers son of them on the copyright
bill marvel greatly at my termerity in thus plunging recklessly into this new field of literature. I forward corrected proof
of the Yo. article today. When you telegraphed for a description of the Tuolumne region I was busy on an independent article
on the big Canon none of which was available as an addition to the Yo article. Therefore I had to dash off what I sent you
which I fear you will find to be mere geography hard to splice on the yo. After you are done with the M.S. please return it
as I may use the unpublished portion in other articles. Cordially yrs John Muir
