Transcription:
J February 8, 1905. R. W. GILDER, EDITOR. R. U. JOHNSON, ASSOCIATE EDITOR. C. C. BUEL, ASSISTANT EDITOR. My
dear Muir: I do not for the life of me understand your reference to the trouble in Washington about the Yosemite Park boundary.
I am sure that Pinchot or Senator Perkins could put you on the track of the facts and would be much more likely to do so for
you than for me. I am waiting eagerly to hear of the passage of the Recession bill, after which I hope to write a Recessional
in the spirit of Kipling. Thank you very much for the inclosures. You are fighting a big fight and I wish I were in it, but
it is altogether bestthat I have nothing to do with it- at least on the surface. Faithfully yours, R. U. Johnson Mr. John
Muir, Martinez, Cal. Owen's book starts off well with a lot of complimentary letters from authors. Some time when you are
in San Francisco kindly ask how it is going there at the book stores. 03525
