Transcription:
Martinez, Nov. 4, 1913 Dear Mr Calkins: I had hoped to see you in your Orange home long ere this, but the unrighteous
San Francisco schemers have drawn me many other nature lovers into a desperate fight for the integrity of our National Parks
This fight has prevented me from doing any work on my books for the last 4 months I should have been delighted with a visit
from you when you passed our house Tell Mr Gates I often think of him will surely pay him a visit next time I'm in Pasadena
after the Hetch Hetchy war is over. With kindest regards to Mrs. Calkins I am ever faithfully yours John Muir 09215
