addressed c/o the Sierra Club Mineral King, California We are camped in a fine grove with Turk turban lily gardens glorious
floods of cool roaring water. I feel better every day I think I may be here a couple of weeks longer so you will have time
to write a letter or two after you receive this. I mean to spend most of the time in the upper basin of the Grand Arroya the
Kern Kahwoah full of lakes, bryan thus, Little glaciers, etc. We have a fine lot of outers, most will go to Mt. Whitney -
