No. 6 Sixteenth St., Chicago,

Chicago, July 23, I880.

Prof. J. LeConte,

Although engaged heavily in the practice of surgery, I have amused myself by studying the boulder drift for many years, being led to it by the digging of ten miles of tunnels through it by Chicago engineers, by the great number of sections exposed by cuttings on railways centering here, and by the several hundred miles of section on the lake shores kept fresh by the erosion of the waves. I am impressed that most geologists err in consequence of want of sufficient study of drift …

Friday. Aug. 27, [1880].

To-day I begin to feel hungry, my meals during two weeks past have been quite "Tannerian" principally water and boiled peach-juice. I have a fancy that a bit of Alaska smoked salmon broiled before glowing coals, with maybe a garnish of little blue huckleberries, must be exactly delicious. Try to bring with you some berries, not paste, but dried whole,-- and couldn't a small block of the tiny glacier-edge vaccinium, soil, plants, and fruit, be easily quarried and carried?
All this proves that I now am really convalescent, and come to think of it, I am …
