Transcription:
Martinez Sep 12 1890 Dear Mr Johnson The Autumn weather grapes are ripening fast not a single iceberg or snowbank or green
island is in sight. I had a glorious time among Alaska's icy mountains gained many grand telling facts at the price of much
hard work nerve trying adventure. I'll try to write some of it for the Century. Also the King's River Yo. All the world
is indebted to you for your work in saving so fine a section of the Sierra from cheap vulgar ruin. It would be a fine thing
to save the magnificent Kings River region also with the forests about it in it though much is already in the hands of the
lumbermen. All the material of the Yosemite articles not used please return. Ever cordially yours John Muir
