I am told that the grandest mountain scenery is on that route. There are also old friends along the way and the big mills of British Columbia and Washington. Have some relatives too on the way to California so I can at least plan a splendid journey for the old man You will think it a miserably small one after going around the world. Let me tell you about this $100. from Charlie. It was very fully told once, more than a year ago in the lost letter. It is a little singular that of my very few lost letters two of them should be to you the former one was when you were beginning your mountain travels It takes away the zest of writing to tell things twice or to think they might not possibly land all rightThe morning you were leaving us here in Milwaukee you inquired regarding Charlie and said that for his sake you would like to see the $100 I understand you like myself you hate to lower your estimation of03421
