1907? Dear Mr Keller Here are a few more odds ends on Hetch Hetchy. In a former application Manson stated in a pamphlet
that 1 all other sources are inferior to (H H: lake Eleanor) this in purity. On the contrary it is less pure than the other
Tuolumne sources outside the Park, because hundreds of tourists camp on the Upper Tuolumne Meadows in H. H. every summer,
when roads are made there will be thousands for every one on the streams outside the park in the forest reserve. 2 That H.H.
is only a common low lying meadow. It is on the contrary a charming park even more beautiful than Yosemite in its gardens
groves. 3 That making a lake of it would make it more beautiful grossly untrue As well say - making golden State Park or Central
Park of New York into a tank or reservoir would render them more beautiful
