Letter from John Edward Raker to Stephen Tyng Mather

Subject(s): California--Lassen Volcanic National Park, Conard, Arthur L. (Arthur Lee), 1862-1945, Travel--Planning

Representative Raker has heard that Director of the National Park Service Mather was unable to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park during his first trip through California. He hopes that Mather will be able to visit the park in October, as it will be an ideal time to do so, and his constituents greatly desire such a visit. A. L. Conard, Chairman of the Committee for the improvement of the Lassen Volcanic National Park, would particularly like to speak with Mather. Raker feels that such a visit would help enhance Mather’s future presentations to the Committee on Appropriations as he continues seeking funding for the park.
