letterhead Tho' I have not been in Alaska I have not neglected glaciers. I was in Switzerland in '96 '97 and '99 and made
studies of the Forno glacier. I find the ideas regarding the vertical part of the movement, which I published four years ago,
confirmed. I am writing a paper on the subject now and will send you a copy when it is printed. In 1897 I also made a visit
to Russia in connection with the International Congress of Geologists and visited the Caucasus Mountains and Mt. Ararat. I
made out three glaciers on the latter, and about 1/4 of its surface I did not see. With kind regards and hoping you will be
east before long I am yours sincerely Harry Fielding Reid. Have you heard what effect last September's easthquake ahd
on the Alaskan glaciers? 02668
