Ill try to meet your wishes however if you send me a copy this portion. Davidson Glacier is at head of Ly[illegible] Canal as the text shows.

I thought it would be well to give a general view of glaciation as foundation for much in lighter vein in other portions of the book. Anyhow the Sierra Glacier could not be left out.I fear I shall not get into the valley this year, at least not until the end of next month on account of reading proof on the book which is only about half done so far. But if your son dan get off let him come & we will make the trip as soon as the last of the proofs reaches me. Or let him come next year & young G.
