Transcription:
Martinez Sep. 17, 1914 Dear friend Johnson: The farmer's Hetch-Hetchy protest is dead, like the valley itself in which
several hundred men are now doing desolation work. Your protest against the Kaiser's war work is good strong. Civilization
has not gone very deep as yet, but we are making some slight progress heavenward, it's coming yet for a' that, that man to
man the world o'er shall brothers be and a' that. I have not seen the Life of C illegible our you mention but ill send for
it. The Century Co. made a mortal mistake in letting you go, as soon they must know Last winter's grippe has kept me half
sick all summer but am now getting better pegging away at another book. Be of good cheer dear friend, better days must surely
be drawing nigh. Ever faithfully affectionately yours John Muir
