Dear Johnson:- We all send you many thanks for your brave Hetch Hetchy work in all our fights on park matters you have been
and are our main stay and leader. Those letters in the Times and Evening Post are capital. Do not allow yourself to be handicapped
by lack of a stenographer. We will gladly furnish all the money you want. Send the bills to me. Smoot, Senator, is a stanch
friend on our side of the fight, so is Representative Denver S. Church. Be of good cheer. Nothing that we can do on the side
of justice can be wholly lost. I'll write you again soon. Be careful of your health these hot days and don't fret all will
turn out for the best in the long run. Ever faithfully yours, illegible
