3 you and I am sure you will sympathize with us in our desire to turn the minds and hearts of Californians toward their
great and good men and their beautiful country. Professor Bradley and your friend Miss Graydon are to write the principal
articles, and I with Mr. Keith and others of your friend's help, am to have a little say as a student. We are to have the
new photographs of the Sierras that Mr. Le Conte took this summer. Were it not too presumptious we would ask for a letter,
a few lines written in the essay spirit from you. May I suggest such a thing? Among your papers is there not something short
and unpublished that we may have? Most cordially yours Mary Bell.
