Transcription:
Martinez, May 15, 1908. Never mind, dear Colby the present flourishing triumph of the wealthy wicked. The Phelans Pinchots
their hirelings will not thrive forever foundational righteousness will win at last. Your Collier's letter is all right.
The Valley is safe for many years at least. So much we have won by our hard battle, the poor dollar sinners will have a thorny
time of it ere complete destruction of Hetch Hetchy is made sure There own destructive plans will be the first to fail in
margin: at least so we will hope work pray Ever yrs John Muir
