Transcription:
(Copy) .Denver.Colorado.oct.11- 1913. Dear President Eliot:-. I have been asked to write you on the subject of the Hetch
Hetchy bill. The subject is important and I have positive views upon it- which I think are worth your consideration. I cannot
set forth my views better than I have done In two personal letters to Senator Hollis, of Hew Hampshire, and I therefore enclose
copies of those letters, together with his very satisfactory reply to the first, and ask that you will read then. . I think
the bill ought not to pass I am told that the chances that it will be defeated are desperately slim; and I urge your favorable
consideration of Mr. Muir's request that you write to President Wilson and perhaps to the Senate leaders about the matter.
Faithfully yours, illegible 06332
