Transcription:
Rough draft of letter ca. 1904 Jul 13 Alden Anderson Dear Mr. Anderson (?): I have already met Mayor Chittenden, Mr.
R. B. Marshall and Mr. Frank Bond yesterday in S.F., and considered with them the revision of the Yo semite Park boundaries.
In gen eral I am opposed to changes that would diminish the area of the park. It should rather be increased. A small portion
on the S.W. cor ner where a few mines are located might be cut off, provided this would not result in making easy and sure
the destruction of the forests on patented lands thereabout. If practicable, the private claims in the sugar pine region should
be taken up by the Government at fair price, or condemned. Letter breaks off here 03536
