your name has grown so familiar and your books have given so much pleasure to me and some friends of mine who are lovers of
nature and the free untramelled life you enjoy. We are contemplating a journey to the Yosemite to? remain perhaps thru' the
summer and wish to enjoy it in the most intelligent way, at least to get a clear idea of its beauty. Mr Lukens, whom we know,
has spoken of you so often that I felt not the least fear in asking your assistance. My friends have four new illegible
and I have illegible Mountains of California. We would be delighted if you would suggest others you like. With very great
respect Kate Glessner Carrithers 408 Kensington Place Pasadena Calif. May 21 .
