SIERRA CLUB, ACADEMY OF SCIENCES BUILDING, ROOM 51 A. SAN FRANCISCO. CALIFORNIA, San Francisco, December,21,1894
Mr. John Mulr, Martinez, Cal. Dear Sir:--- At the last meeting of the Board of Directors a quorum was not present. The
matter for consideration was the Report of the Yosemite Valley Commission. It was deemed best that Resolutions should be drafted
in respect thereto, and adopted by the Board. The difficulty of obtaining a full meeting was thought to be met in the present
manner; that is, the Resolutions being drafted and sent to each member of the Board with the request to make such changes
and additions or amendments as such Director might see fit,or approve them and return them at once to the Secretary at his
office address, 222, Sansome Street, San Francisco. In accordance with such a determination, I enclose to you these Resolutions
and request your prompt action thereon,so that copies may be sent to the Yosemite Commission before the session of this Legislature.
Yours truly, Elliott Mo Allister, per Illegible Secy .Sierra Club. 222,Sansome St. S.F. Cal. 01902
