4 We read your article on the Grand Canon diacritic of the Colorado in the Century, It seemed almost too wonderful and vast
for me to comprehend, I will have to study it awhile to understand it. I scarcely see how you found words to describe anything
so unusual. I would like to see some of the views for myself. I hope you will send me anything from your pen which I have
not seen, for we all enjoy them so much Love to you and yours 1 Port Norfolk Va Jan. 22, 1903 Dear brother John:
I was glad to be remembered by you in your postal order at New Years (for I suppose it was from you) but I would have been
greatly pleased to have received a letter from you as it is a long time since I have heard directly. I hope you are as well
as usual and busy with your writing. 03146
