BAY COUNTIES ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY June 1, 1904 Dr John Muir,
Martinez, Cal. My dear Sir,- An alumni association of U. W. having been recently formed it is proposed that a banquet
be the occasion of our next meeting. Prof. Frederick J. Turner is to give a course in American history at the U. C. summer
school during July and if we can find a time convenient for everybody the banquet will be given while he is here. It is important
that a date be selected as soon as possible and I am asked to inquire of you whether you can come on a Friday evening toward
the end of July or the first week in August. The committee desires to invite you to respond to a toast. Dr O'Connor will by
that time have returned from the semi-centennial celebration held at Madison next week, whither he went as one of our delegates
and his report will be due. Prof. Hoskins of Stanford, Mr. Townley of Ukiah and the Hayes Brothers and Mr Rogers of San Jose
will be invited to take part in the speech making and a pleasant affair will celebrate the first formal gathering of the alumni
in this part of California. Perhaps you may be able to make additions or corrections to tth enclosed list of our available
members. The committee wishes to have every one notified. Possibly you will remember my father, E. D. Cornish, as a fellow
student with you at Madison in the early sixties. He spent the winter here and was diappointed in finding you away. Yours
very respectfully, Illegible Secretary 420 Crossley Building, San Francisco. 03368
