Transcription

he could ever do a thing like that. He is a pretty good climber and jumps over the little gullies in the canyon but they are not nearly as bad as the crevasses in the ice. I love to climb and have been over on Mt. Tamalpies several times, and I would love to take a climb in Glacier Park or some other mountains. As I'm only eleven years old Papa says I am not quite old enough yet, but I want to soon. it does not snow more in Berkeley than once a year and then only for a few minutes. When I was little I saw lots of snow back last but I can notremember that time. I can, when I was five years old and went to Utah and it snowed there.I hope you are well and still can see the beautiful mountains.Sincerely YoursHelen Whitney2630 Haste St.BerkeleyCalifornia
