OF THE
My de ar Mr. Secretary:
Will you please forward the enclosed letters to Major
Pitcher, the Superintendent of the Yellowstone Park, and
to Forest Inspector A. A. Anderson through the General
Land Office? John B. Goff of whom I am writing is a
per sonal friend of mine in whom absolute confidence can
be placed, and it would be an absolute advantage to the
Yellowstone Park and the forest reservation to have him
connected in any way with their management.
Sincerely yours,
