Transcription:
letterhead September 25, 1896 My dear babies Wanda Helen I wish you could have seen the fine shaggy wild mountains woods
I saw yesterday the grand scenery above a white rolling sea of fog, but I would have been awfully afraid the carriage would
have fallen over the steep rocks along the fronts of which the road was cut. There is a very handsome gray squirrel in the
hotel here here in a big cage, they let him out every morning to scamper about the office he is then just too handsome ridiculously
funny for anything. I wonder what sober gentlemanly Tom would think of him, I must try to get one for you when we get the
new dog then we will be all right Ever Your loving admiring father marginalia 02156
