more as you wish. We are also keeping list of newspapers on our side and will send you copies of them. We are bracing up Smoot
in every way we can. We are glad to hear that Herbert Parsons is to appear for us at Senate Hearing Friday. Will also try
to get the information you desire as to the number of water power sites in Sections 16 and 36 which went to California and
sold under state law. Glad to hear that Watrous is back.If you can go on to Washington at any critical time, we will allbe
gratefully obliged to you and so will all the world. Yourexpenses of course will be paid. Should the Bill be held upuntil
the next regular session, we will be ready with another newcondensed pamphlet which we are already at work upon. It is agreat
comfort to us all that you have been able to lead the fightin the East. Don't know how we could possibly have conducted awinding
battle without you. I heartily congratulate you on whatyou have already accomplished. I -am, with sincere regardsto Mrs.Johnson,
Faithfully yours,
