Transcription:
in margin: quoted illegible 97 RUJ Cousin Adamana, Arizona July 16/06 Yes my dear Johnson sound the loud timbrel let
every Yosemite tree stream rejoice. You may be sure I knew when the big bill passed. Getting Congress to accept the Valley
brought on strange to say, a desperate fight both in the House Senate Sometime I'll tell you all the story. You dont know
how accomplished a lobbyiest Ive become under your guidance. The fight you planned by that famous Tuolumne campfire seventeen
years ago is at last fairly gloriously won, every enemy down derry down Write a good long strong heart warming letter to
Colby. He is the only one of all the club who stood by me in downright effective fighting. I congratulate you on your successful
management of Vesuvious as Gilder says, safe return with yourself family in all its far-spreading branches in good health.
Helen is now much better. Wanda was married last month I am absorbed in these enchanted carboniferous forests. Come let me
guide you thro them the great canon. Ever yours John Muir
