Transcription:
Los Angeles, Cal., March 31, 1911. 325 West Adams Street. William E. Colby, 402 Mills Bldg., San Francisco, Cal. Dear
Mr. Colby:- It must make every honest man grunt to have this eternal Hetch-Hetchy question bob up as if not a word had been
written or spoken on the subject before. I have written to Taft, Kent, and the new secretary, as you suggested. All we can
do, as far as I see, is to watch and be ready for every action that the unweariable thieves and robbers invent. Send me a
word every day or two telling Keith's condition, and when you see him always assure him of my love. I expect to be in San
Francisco about the middle of April. Faithfully yours, illegible
