My dear Sellers.

A week or two ago I went through the Yellowstone Park with the Forestry Commission, & almost every step of the way, I was reminded of our fine wild camping trip with Catlin & his dispeptic east or west powder bread, & raw frontierism as well as the free jolly time we had. Those good old days have gone never to return. Now even the bears are tame I stayed with the Commission until a week or so ago when we reached Spokane after examining the Black Hills forests, those of the …

I have some bad news to send you. the Commission has decided that I should be of some service to the general cause by spending more time in the Bitter Root Mountains than was intended at first. Consequently it will be impossible for me to get to Tacoma as early as I had hoped. and the Alaska trip is now beyond my reach.
