3 the extension of the grant I can only guess in part. Washburn co built a road into the valley from Wawona. Last year they
made out to sell that portion of it that lies within the Yo. grant to the commission for a large sum 10,000 I think - should
the grant be extended they would probably sell the rest of it for 30,000 or more while still retaining control of it. But
anyhow, that Mack letter is traitorous unless I am blundering more than ever before in my life. Stand up for the Vandever
bill on no account let the extension be under state control if is can possibly be avoided. You perhaps noticed that in his
reply to the Governor's charges Mack skipped the discussion of the Uncle Olmsted part entirely while elaborating in every
other direction.
