122 Martinez Oct. 27, 1913 Dear Johnson: That letter of yours in Colliers of Oct 25 is Capital, the best ever We held
a Sierra Club meeting last Saturday. -passed resolutions, fanned each other to a fierce white Hetch Hetchy heat. I particularly
urged that we must get everybody to write to senators the president, keeping letters flying all next month thick as storm
snowflakes, loaded with park pictures, short circulars etc. Stir up all other park playground clubs women's clubs etc Gleason
the lecturer mountaineer is going to make a lot more telling slides of the H. Hetchy, will use them in his lectures. I'm sure
you Osborn can get him to lecture at the Am. Museum perhaps also in Washington. I have written to Eliot mean to try Hadley,
Jordan is with us. Ever yours bravely John Muir
