1 Crocker's May 28th '03 Typed Dear Mama As you already know from Helen's letter we are back at Crockers again having
a restful lazy time after our glorious Hetch Hetchy trip which was in every way a grand success. The last time the mail went
out (evening before last) I was too sleepy to write anything at all intelligible I went to bed at eight oclock instead but
I guess? Helen told you all the news. The cause of my? being so very sleepy was that I had gotten up at four oclock in the
morning, cooked breakfast (not a very serious undertaking) helped jack three horses, and then walked five miles, four thousand
feet of which were almost straight on end. It is only twenty miles from Hetch Hetchy here with very little climbing, but besides
this walk Robert, Christopher, and I, left the main trail and went down into P illegible nt-Canyon, a rocky valley that the
Tuolumne flows through after it leaves Hetch Hetchy. It is very pretty but not nearly as fine as Hetch Hetchy. All this may
