Acknowledgement of large number of Hetch-Hetchy photos. of my taking for him to use in trying to save the valley to the public
Martinez, Nov. 4, 1907 Dear Mr Lukens; Many thanks for the fine lot of Hetch Hetchy photos all of which I'll need by by
in my Yosemite book in this fight. Here is a copy of the Sierra Club resolutions which you may get published noticed in some
of your good papers. Also you will find a short article of mine on H. H. the reservoir scheme in The Outlook for Nov. 2d just
published which you might get reviewed - thus help to make the salvation of our charming Tuolumne Yosemite sure-. Also get
as many nature lovers as possible to write to the Sec. of the Interior or the President protesting against its destruction.
You are the man to direct encourage the fight in the south, for none knows H.H. its surroundings so well as you do. Keith
I returned from a two weeks visit to Hetch H. a short time ago. Keith was charmed with it - said it was finer more beautiful
picturesque than Yosemite. He made 38 sketches. The Ma illegible Appalachian clubs have come to our help - we must win Love
to all your family. Helen is in bad with cold but is getting well Ever faithfully yours John Muir
