Transcription:
307 Toronto, Canada, July 3rd, 1895 My dear Sir: I heartily thank you for your courteous reply to my letter. On the
strength of it I venture another question Illegible that I omitted in my former letter, viz., the relative size of the Folgefond
glacier in Norway, and (2) I judge from your article that the Muir covers the largest area of any glacier in the world. Is
this so? I am also requested by the Director of Mines for the Province of Ontario to ask if you will furnish him through
me with a list of any book or books on glaciers you may have written. If in print he would like a set to be sent here for
which remittance will be atnonce made or they can be sent COD. If you have published no works on that subject could you then
refer us to your magazine articles on the subject? Thanking you again in advance for an anticipated reply I remain,
yours very truly Illegible02000
