Martinez, California. January 6, 1910-

Dear Miss Lapham,

I thank you for your kind letter which brings to mind [illegible...] days some of the pleasantest of them were spent at the State [illegible] for Father's Farm on the River near Portage. Your name is familiar but I have only a faint recollection of meeting your father.

We are doing all we can to save the Hatch [Helchy?] Valley & the Yosemite National Park in general from commercial robbers & trust your club will come to ours help.

With all good wishes & many pleasant memories. I am faithfully yours,

John Muir.
