thanks for your noble gift to the Government of Redwood Canon diacritic with its magnificent groves of Sequoia to be preserved
forever in all their glorious primeval beauty grandeur. This is the finest forest park thing done in California in many a

you or not I am ever, Faithfully your friend John Muir
