Kodiak. July 3. 99 Darlings Wanda Helen. I have often thought how fine it would be to have you on this trip. The Harriman
Averil? girls Miss Draper about your own ages enjoy it so much have so bright merry instructive time. So many grand mountains
with birds flowers glaciers waterfalls so many wise men to tell them about all they see. Everyday is delightful even when
we were out on the open ocean the ship was so steady nobody was seriously seasick a single hour. Some day you will see the
Alask islands glaciers mountains forests than which none are finer anywhere I mean those seen on the regular trip to Glacier
Bay which you can take anytime Yesterday I climbed a green flower mountain back of the town 1500 ft high it is one flower
bed all the way to the top I wish I could send you the big hand full I brought down all fresh. The creeping matted huckleberry
Loisleuria flowers the Anemone geranium orchids cypripedium were particularly fine. I did not feel so tired as I would climbing
Mt Wanda. For I am getting strong now eat three or four times as much as at 02599
