5 Raymond, Fresno Co., Calif. Dec. 9, '90 Dear Mr. Johnson: I posted a note to you this morning, and afterwards received
yours of Nov. 28 - which had been up the road towards Yosemite. The information in your note concerning your recommendation
of me in connection with the Park is so much of an unforeseen circumstance in my mind that I cannot yet think it probable
that anything will result from your endeavor. This, none the less, is gratifying to me. I would best show my appreciation
of your kindness in case of the effort in my behalf being successful, by doing whatever I should have to do to the uttermost
of my ability. It would not be without hesitation that I would undertake a part in the executive management 06354
