I regret not receiving this copy a few days earlier for I had just sent an article on the reservations to Page I should certainly
have noticed this montrous business given at least a good long paragraph to it One feeble part of the Forestry Commission
has thus been given the work that had already most ably been done by the whole without even mentioning what had been done.
For a parallel to this even in downright darkenss idiotic stupidity the records of civilization may would be searched in vain.
How Mr Pinchot without a word to his colleagues could lightly accept such a commission go illegible can't imagine when the
time comes for letting in light on this dry goods? forestry--Pinchot Coast Surveyed--let me know Ill try to help Remember
me to Abbot when you next write to him to bright time defying plant loving plant plucking Canby. I enjoyed his companionship
ever so much. The way he compelled the startled plant people to tell their names pushed them into their places is a warning
a judgement an inspiration to the lazy--a capital kicking indomitable untirable fellow with a knowing eye for everything from
Cuscenta up down. May his tribe increase. Ever Yrs JM
