in margin: Prof Reid letterhead Dec 5th 1896 My dear Mr. Muir, It's been a long time since I have heard from you,
but I have often thought of you and wondered how you were. Mr. T. Brook Whitworth wrote me last spring that you were about
to make another visit to Alaska; Wish I could have gone with you. I took my whole family over to Switzerland and, leaving
them at our hotel, I spent all the time I could studying the glaciers. I shall publish the results late in the winter will
send you a copy of the paper. What changes did you find at 02184
