Letter from Stephen Tyng Mather to Alexander J. Forbes

Subject(s): California--Lassen Volcanic National Park, Expenditures, Public, National parks and reserves--Finance

Director of the National Park Service Mather regrets that the service is not currently in a position to do much with Lassen Volcanic National Park because no appropriations for funding have been made for it. He hopes that Congress will appropriate funds for the park after the war, which will allow for development of the area.
