Transcription:
1 East Auburn Calif. January 11 1913. Mr. John Muir Martinez Calif. Dear Sir: This to solicit your aid and great
influence in furtherance of a project which has a living appeal to every lover of nature. It is the construction of a scenic
bridle trail to connect Lake Tahoe and the Yosemite. This will of necessity be laid along the High Sierras, a region which
you have made peculiarly your own. A bill will be introduced to the Legislature now in Session by Senator Birdsall making
an appropriation for the construction of such a trail under the direction of the State engineer. The proposition antagonizes
no person nor interest so far as I can see, and should, and I think will, meet with enthusiastic support. As president of
the Sierra Club you can bring their influence to bear. A request from the Sierra Club would probably be all that is necessary
to bring their support to the measure. Can you help? Yours Very Respectfully Capt. Charles H. Robinson 05351
