2 01575 map and observations to the upper part of Glacier Bay, and also down Main Valley to Lynn Canal. I shall make observations
on the motion of the ice in the neighborhood of illegible Glacier, and of the melting there at some other points. I shall
be very glad for any suggestions that you may like to make. I am sorry to say that none of my former party go back with me;
Cushing is studying in Europe; Mr Reid? is in 2 3 letterhead his fathers store; C illegible is in Colorado; Adams has
a place in the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard College; and Morse is on some railroad survey. I might have the pleasant
surprise of finding you again at the glacier. Mr. Russell does not return to the St. Elias region this summer. The geographic
