A Martinez, Nov. 19, 1902 Mr C. S. Newhall Frenso, Cal. My dear sir: I thank you for your letter on the Boole illegible
Tree Though not the largest, it is one of the largest of the living trees, should be saved if possible In looking over the
notes of my several exploring trips in the Kings River Sequoia region I find that this Boole tree is not a first discovery.
I saw it measured described it in the autumn of 1877 - that is 25 yrs ago. It then was named Hugh Miller The salvation of
the Converse Basin groves, is however, vastly more important. They are now being rapidly utterly destroyed-
