Rough draft of letter T. P. Lukens May, '99 My dear Lukens: I'm going to town day after tomorrow, and if I meet the
gentlemen you mention I'll gladly recommend you for forest work. Usually, however, it is not the best man for the place that
gets it. You have done a fine thing in starting the Forest and Water Associ ation . I start north Friday night. With best
wishes, John Muir 02588
