[3]a noble mountain over 16000 feet high loaded with ice & snow, wreathed with clouds & the loveliest alpine flowers Had glorious side trip among its wild gardens above the lower reaches of it glaciers. Thence to Vadvoskez thence back here by another road. Three or four hours from Vladvaskez had magnificent view of Mt Elbruz, over 18000 ft high looming pure mossy white above dark forests & foothills & broad sunny grain fields. We have been here five days. This evening we start on the long R.R. trip across continent glad to think of the wilderness ahead - glad to have Holy Moscow Kremlin Fall.
