Martinez, Aug. 2, 1912 Dear Mr Johnson, Your letters of July 6th 23d 26th reached me only a day or two ago because I was
away on a trip to the Giant forest of the Kaweah Yosemite. I'm glad you are going to cool Canada after Owen's long dangerous
illness. I had duplicate type written copies of my S. American African notes made before leaving Los Angeles and I find that
without a lot of good photographs suitable magazine articles cannot be got out of them at least in a reasonable time. Therefore
I'm sorry to say Dont count on. I have three good photos of the Victoria Falls a few rather poor ones of the Baobab, of the
Amazon I have none worth anything as illustrations. I have written to friends in Para Manaos to try Bancroft library
