Transcription:
Martinez,Feb.8,1910 My dear Osborn I'm delighted to get word of you after such a long blank palaeozoic silence- and to
learn you are coming hither ere long-all of you I hopeSince a illegible? ailroad was built to the western boundary of the
park Yosemite in accessible all the year. tho April and May are perhaps the best months. I'm glad you are in our Hetch Hetchy
fight. Christian up and smite them , is capital Last week I was at the Los Angeles Saber-tooth Tiger beds, a wonderful lot
of monuments that doubtless you will examine. Give my love to Mrs Osborn the children,- he whole nestful I suppose full fledged
and away. My Wing on Wing memories are warmly cherished grow brighterwith the passing years. Pinchot seems to have lost his
head in coaland timber conservation, forgotten God and his handiwork. He hasbeen our worst enemy in our park fight. With warm
regards Ever yours John Muir 04700
