Transcription:
As to acquiring the Calaveras grove Martinez, Apr 28. 1900 My dear Lukens, I have written to Senator Perkins as you
desired recommending you as a member of the Appra isement? Committee on the Calaveras Grove. While the iron is hot we should
I think strike for Government Ownership of all the Sequoias of the Sierra. I hear that the large holdings of the bankrupt
Moore Smith firm are now for sale by the creditors. Stir up the Water Forest Club on the matter The more done by the Government
for the Sierra forests the more will be done for those of the South. Ever Yours John Muir
