[4]about "Mr Russell alone on Mt. St. Elias" and gave him a few facts and reasons. McKee said he would with alacrity and a column and a half from Mr. Russell cause out in several hundred newspapers this last Monday OCt 20. Nextly while I was in San F. Mr. Moriss took me to Keith's studio. Mr. Deith was not there but his "Taku Glacier" was and I kept wishing that it could be exhibited East. I undertook to see if we could not get it at the Cosmos Club rooms in Washington, where the Geographical Society meets. I hear from Mr. Moriss that Mr. Keith is willing to have it go, and I am now only waiting to hear formally from01467[1]39 West 26th StreetNew York - October 22 - 1890Dear Prof. MuirI was so sorry to have missed you in S.F. and Mrs. Hooper as well.
