22 Martinez March 29, 1893. My dear Mr Johnson- I see by the newspapers that the President has appointed a Wisconsin
man to the land office so that Irish danger is past. Weeks ago however I sent my protest to Hoke Smith against Irish, I suppose
Armes did. I know that Robinson has been dealing out Southern Pacific influence in his grand way. It is hardly so bad as he
makes out but disgracefully near it. I admire your efforts for Yosemites sake Your pluch perserverance for the public good
in such matters is immortal well nigh divine Were you not a sadly rare man the J.P.s of this world would speedily wilt.
