McClure Hoffman I spent three days on a glacier up there planting stakes etc.. This time I go to the Merced group one of whose
Mtns shelters a glacier. I will go over all the lakes morains etc there. Will be gone a week or two or so. Hutch' wants to
go with me to help me but I will etc etc Ink cannot tell the glow that lights me at this moment in turning to the mtns.
I feel strong to leap Yosemite walls at a bound Hotels human impurity will be far below. I will fuse in spirit skies I will
touch naked God Farewell, or come meet in ghost between Red Mtn Black on the star sparkled ice. Love to all their to Moores
