Transcription:
letterhead Sep 21st 1896 Dear Louie, We arrived here this morning have just had breakfast, we left Vesalia at 6.15 P.M.
yesterday after a rapid run up down the mountains through the Sequoia Park to the summit of the Western axis of the Sierra.
The rapidest mountaineering I ever did. Very unlike my last in this wild region when 20 years ago I made a three months trip
from Yosemite with the little brown mule that spoke better than Balam's. We are going in a few moments to call on Lummis,
then to Pasadena San Gabriel Mtns., San Bernardino Jacinto etc. Lukins I fear has not yet returend from the mtns Ever yours
