First draft of letter, in note-book 59 (29) Jan. 02 Cap. A, H. Payson, Office Santa Fe T. Co., 641 Market St., San Francisco.
Dear Sir: I am writing an article on the Grand Canyon for the Century mag. and would like to see its winter garb and from
the viewpoints on the branch railroad. I spent a few days on its rim and at the bottom of it, going in by way of Flagstaff
before the branch R.R. was built. Can you furnish passes, and greatly oblige, Yours truly, J. M.02890
