Stewart Edward White offers to start a petition for removal of Charles S. Newhall as Superintendent of Forest Reserves in California. He requests that a circular letter be sent to “all rangers, military commanders and park keepers” informing them that he is “a respectable member of society.” The adventure and travel writer, accompanied by his future wife and co-writer, Elizabeth “Betty” Grant, was planning a visit to national parks in the West.
