UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Berkeley, March 31, 1903. My dear Sir: President Wheeler, who has
left Berkeley today for a week's absence, has asked me to request your opinion in regard to the comparative merits of these
itineraries for the Yosemite journey. They are, as you will see, for the President's party as distinguished from the private
expedition of President Roosevelt and yourself. It inerary No. 5 was prepared after Mr. A. S. Mann had submitted the other
four. He assures me that there will be no difficulty in its execution. This itinerary has seemed to President Wheeler preferable
to the other four. Will you be so kind as to return the enclosures? Very truly yours, illegible President's Secretary.
Mr. John Muir, Martinez, California. Enclosures. 03203
