Go ahead as our representative & what you do we other members of the Committee will swear to--Mt Rainier is the grandest isolated icy old volcanic cones on this coast--The forest about its base are most interesting containing specimens of nearly every coniferious tree of Alaska Washington & Oregon, while an intermediate Zone above the forest & below its glaciers is one glorious garden of the finest alpine & subalpine flowers. It is also the home of from one hundred to two hundred wild goats-nearly related to the camois of the Alps-& of many deer & other interesting animals & birds etc. All the live people of the Puget Sound region turn to Rainier as a natural pleasure ground--It will be one of the very noblest & most interesting of all our parks. Fortunately few claims of any importance have been made about it.Making this park will bless everybody, hurt nobody & please the Lord. I had a letter from Mr Scott the other day asking how I was getting on with the proposed book & saying it ought to be in the hands of the printers within a few months. I am pegging away at it-trying to make the old articles bear on each other, & stick together canceling here & there & adding new matter. Can you send me another set of copies of my articles, to be cut up? It would save me much rewriting.
