1 219 Grand Ave. Waukesha, Wis. May 20, 1897, My dear friend, Some time ago I received your most kind letter and
I was so pleased to hear from you It brings so vividly to our mind of the happy and pleasant days spent at the University.
I was at the University a few weeks ago. There is such a change in relation to the buildings but the three buildings that
were when we attended remain the same. I took a look at the building and the location of the 02286 2 of the rooms we
occupied. Pleasant to the memory are the days of Lang Syne . I regreted so much that I did not see you at the time you were
at Portage. What a pleasant visit we would have had I intended to have Judge Griswold J. T? . Stewart to be with us also.
I have read your book on the Mountains of California I enjoyed it so much and I have lent it to a number of friends and at
present time my nephew who is teaching is reading it He has enjoyed it very much. I enjoyed your descriptions of your examination?
to the different National Parks but have not received your report 02286
