          have a Botany of California 
 without something being done 
 there. If you would write a 
 letter to Gov. [Governor] H. H. [Henry Huntly] [crossed out: Haigt] Haight, 
 or better to 


 Hon. [Honorable] Edward Tompkins
 Sacramento Cal. [California], it 
 would aid in the given work. 


 By the way, Did we ever 
 send you a copy of the Yosemite
 Guide Book? If not, let me 
 know, I have a few copies left &
 Whitney has directed me to 
 send you one [added: If it was not done last summer], but meanwhile I 
 have an impression that 
 the thing was done, if not 
 please let me know & I will 
 do so now.


 Yours truly 
 Wm [William] H [Henry] Brewer
