Take time & take it easy with (Solomon) bread flour meal

Animal food is greasy & unclean & wholly unnecessary

“Protein foods”, “nutritious, hygienic elements, carbohydrate matter” “aids to digestion” W­­­hat does a mtneer [mountaineer] know about digestion more than a bear or tree such talk may about ­as well be addressed to a tree a bear or a daisy

“Squibb’s mixture for stomach troubles. Court plaster, medicine for colds. Pick & shovel. [rusty] [nails] etc” (Longley)

Odds & ends of notches, peaklets, passes & “false passes­”­­­

Folding table, chairs hammocks & other et ceteras of camp luxuries”
