[Sketch: Sunday, 2nd. July on [mountain] top with Gilbert and Trelean at Kodiack] Darkness is falling. The [clouds] rise and droop, exposing and hiding these majestic fine [mountains]. A few [years] ago the summit of Isinasky was blown off in a violent eruption. Dr. Dall assures me that four [years] ago it was naked and Shesaldon snowclad. Now the latter is bare, evidently hot at top, and the other has a crevassed well characterized [glacier] on it. At ten Shesaldon in the gloom looks gloriously wild and impressive, revealed from finely drawn top to broad base except the portion covered by a bar of [clouds] slanted across it thus [sketch] A very wide snow and ice field a few [miles] to the west sends down 3 or 4 [glacial] lakes, perhaps
