Transcription:
Sacramento California letterhead Sacramento Calif. Sept 28 1907 My dear Mr Muir Your kind letter reached me while
in Nevada. We were very sorry you did not come to Sacramento. We wanted the great pleasure of having John Muir ours for a
few days again. I talked with Mr Pinchot regarding Hetch Hetchy and urged in every way I could against making it a resevoir
- I know, Mr Muir, you can do more than any one to prevent this course against nature. Do not give up take the matter up direct
with the President - write - wire or go to Washington to see him - I, as a member of the Sierra Club will gladly stand a share
of your expense - I will be in Washington this winter and hope I may be consulted about it, if so, I shall do all in my power
to save it as a valley- Mrs Marshall joins me in the warmest regards and the children send their purest little love to Mr
Muir Sincerely R. B. Marshall 03931
