of the Colorado In the past twenty years I have not seen such a thrilling and ent illegible piece of 03092 2 letterhead

his description of the different kinds of cactus - a few heavy strokes for each and they live to the eye - And again his description
03092 3 letterhead of the mornings and evenings in the dry desert air: and his clouds and colors in the canon, How perfect
and poetic, his prosy, and how thrilling, its reading, to one who has seen it. In the language of desert thrist, - give us
more. J. M. Fain Boston Mass Nov 8 1902 03092
