Grand Hotel San Francisco July 18th 1889 My dear Mr Johnson, The Examiner published some two weeks ago a long article
made up of what is supposed to be your sayings on the Yosemite question. It seems to have been very carefully prepared, expresses
your views very fairly. Dont know who wrote it - perhaps Hamilton. I will send you copy if you care to see it. Last week the
Argonaut published a reply to your Examiner interview it was very bitter. It is in Pixleys style but is signed, John P. Irish,
Editor-of the illegible As bees bizz out we angry fyke when plunderin hordes assail their byke so bizz fyke the Yosemite commissioners
about Century Johnson.
