Martinez Feb. 24, 1894 My dear Mr Johnson In my haste yesterday to get off the Alaska M. S. I forgot the maps. I have
no good map of the territory, Glacier Bay, or the Muir Glacier, but you can get all those through Miss S cud? more. A general
sketch map of Alaska may easily be found, but the only maps for Glacier Bay the Muir Glacier are those of Prof. Harry Fielding
Reid. He worked two summers with good instruments borrowed from the Coast Survey in making them. I think they were published
by the Appletons. You can easily find them through Miss S cud? more. I made rough sketches, but Reids are infinitely better
than mine. In looking over the M. S. as I have arranged it you will see that the first article is a general view of the Territory
a description of the steamer trip through Southeastern Alaska as seen by a tourist. The overabundance of material in my mind
in going over the route made it difficult to keep from saying too much to keep from repeating what I had already written on
the subject. Still I think you will now find it a fair picture of the trip. Anyhow I have carefully revised it done my best.
This kind of touch- -go writing is hard for me. Women do it best. The 2nd article--Glacier Bay reads well I think is not
blurred by anything not belonging to it. Your will notice that I have added two pages of introduction 01787
