Transcription:
J. P. Jukons, President. William ptanton, Vice Prest. Jasadena Cal. Dec. 22nd, 1896 John Muir, Martinez, Cal. Dear
Mr. Muir:- I have met the Assemblymen and Senators elect from Southern California, and have talked with a number of them
about the propriety of the State receding to the United States Government the Yosemite Valley, thus placing the entire Yosemite
National Park in the control of the National Government. I do not believe there will be any difficulty in having this brought
about in the Legislature this winter, if a who Wing is made by the Sierra Club, of the great advantage it would be to the
State in general. I hope you will formulate some plan of action and have presented to the Legislature early in its session.
Yours truly, J.P. illegible 02194
