dsk Martinez, Feb. 10, 1909. Dear Mr Sholes: Yesterday I forwarded your letter to the President as you directed. It is
a fine straight forward statement of the Hetch Hetchy case must be effective in helping to clear away the dense commercial
fog industriously piled upon it. Your letters to Hon. W. R Ellis W. C. Hanley Hon. Herbert Parsons, Hon Jonathan Bourne,
Jr are also very good I heartily thank congratulate you. Keep up the good fight. Victory in this case will go far to save
all our noble godful parks- Faithfully Yours John Muir 120
