The im illegible ly larger dead one that I discovered 27 yrs ago stands within a few miles of this new wonder I think I have
in my notebooks measurements of having specimens as large as the new tree or larger. I have a photo of the tree can get others
I think from a photographer who has a studio in Converse Basin. I'll write a few pages on Big Trees in general if you like
also touching on the horrible destruction of the Kings River groves going on fier illegible about the mills. As to the discovery
of a region grander than Yosemite by the Kelly brothers in the Kings Canon it is nearly all pure bosh. I explored the canon
long ago. it is very deep but has no El Capitan or anything like it. Ever yours faithfully John Muir
