as everywhere admire you love you; you have all our hearts, and though we regret the end of your presidency is drawing nigh
we are glad to know that in reality you will be in many ways our president as long as you live In particular I thank you
for saving the Tamalpais Redwoods and doubt not you will also save our great Yosemite park. This greeting has been delayed
by my daughter's illness, I have taken her to the Mohave desert where the dry healing air will, I fondly hope, bring back
her natural Scottish wholeness strength. I am ever my dear President faithfully yours John Muir January 1908.
