                  Dear Dr. Leopold: 
 
 
illnaes of 
cr'isis. 
months now, 
 
 
The time has come when we must have full-time, or at 
half-time assistance to bear the brunt of work. We 
 
 
someonq loyal to the idoals.04, the soolsty, who ise in a 
position to undertake two major tasks. These are - the 
editing of   H  L    G-ILDEMSS, and, bringing to bear upon 
Congress, the Federal agencies and the States the force of 
the Society in the direction of the maintenance of Wilderness 
standards. We are writing you to urge you to suggest the 
names of one o'rqmoe persons who might be considered in this 
connti~n and whw ould be avail     e and interested. The 
Society is in a position to pay a salary up to $6,000. a year, 
plus travel. 
 
                  Will you not give this your best thought and 
let us hear from you? Bob Yard's illness seems likely to keep 
him out of action for a very considerable period, and unfortun- 
ately, this period is a period in which many decisions are 
being made in the Government which will affect the future of 
our remaining primitive areas. 
 
                                       Sincerely yours,
