Sierra Club Tuolumne Camp July 20./01 Dear Louie - I wish you were here. The air is so perfectly delicious Warm during
the day in the open, cool in the shade, just a trace of frost at night. It would surely do you good - make you feel young
again But Ye Gods what a jolting we got getting here in our six mule horse chariot from Crockers to this mountain paradise
Only the girls endured it unscathed laughed at it giggled at it enjoyed it Wanda Helen take to this life in the rocks woods
like ducks to water as if born to it. No one could guess that this was their first mountaineering my miserable cold has gone
with the frost wind I am well again Every breath is pure pleasure. Keith too is much better. The Club outing is a grand success.
God's ozone sparkles in every eye, I never before saw so big merry a camp circle, a huge fire blazing in the centre. I had
of course to make a little speech though I had eaten two huge trouts which seemed to fill me as if I had devoured something
equal to both Jonah Whale - I suppose I'll have to descend in three weeks so as to be in time for Wanda's entrance 02877
