Dear Sirs
Your favor of the

I agree with you that it would be
best to dispense with the general view.
I send you a new list which I
should like you to follow, tho' if
you can suggest any improvement
I should be glad to hear from you.
I send a full photograph of the Chapel

Lake and the Magoun monument
in the following list, & give more
room to the other views if you
think best, and please have the

mistake it would be best to
send to me by mail or express to be
marked.

The beginning of the letter was difficult to transcribe and there were several words I could not read. Also, I used a separate bracket at the start of numbers 4 & 5 in the list, but it was one large bracket used for both in the document.
