Transcription:
letterhead August 20th 1895 Sir Excuse the liberty I take in addressing you but I have a letter of introduction from
Mr Alvord through an acquaintance of yours viz Mrs Barnes of Albany also of Mrs Catherine Weed Ward, who have been so kind
to me in giving me letters of introduction. Knowing that I was visiting Alaska intending to see the Glacier bearing your name
thought I would be pleased in becoming acquainted with you. I purpose going to illegible at an early date therefore will have
to defer my visit until I return which will be about the end of October when I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you. I
had heard you were in this neighbourhood hoped to have seen you before leaving. Trusting you have had a pleasant time in
the mountains, I am Yours obediently Sydney Keith 02014
