Transcription:
letterhead Fresno, Cali. Jan. 6, 1902. Mr. John Muir Martinez, Cal... Dear Sir, I thank you very sincerely for your
telegram of the 4th to the Commission. In the campaign last fall, I refused to allow the officers under me to leave there
legitimate work for political work, declined a demand for campaign money. Also a supervisor who was a political friend of
a Congressman was discharged for inefficiency, or worse. And there was a charge I cannot account for that I had antagonized
the Water illegible Association. Under the circumstances I thought it allowable to write telegraph as I did to you Wm. Thomas,
Warren Olney Pres. Jordan. The illegible was more than I anticipated. Very sincerely yours, C. S. Newhall illegible Supt.
I enclose 1.10 for the telegram. 02924
