Century for 1891. A Rival of the Yosemite I am extremely anxious to find any information regarding Mt. Whitney and vicinity
and Keni Canon diacritic and have though you will perhaps give me some reference to books or reports on the subject. I have
tried to find this without troubling you but have failed to find anything touching the subject except what I have mentioned
of yours. So I come to you, fearing to intrude, but so anxious for what I ask that I feel you, who so love the beauty and
magnificence of the Sierras will excuse the liberty I have taken, because though very ignorant of much that would add to
my appreciation of their grandeur, I have enjoyed this summer's outing as I never enjoyed any other pleasure in life. And
I feel sure you can give me some idea of where to look for what I am seeking. Yours sincerely Claire S. Robinson Room
