An Afterglow FLAGSTAFF I know you like a perfect postcard so I shall give this one a travelling jacket.

Just back from the Agassiz's at Santa Barbara. Very successful trip. A.'s most kind; conductor and brakeman on No. 7 and No. 2 (same men) quite chummy. Learnt a lot in consequence.

Persuaded A.'s to change route and return via Santa Fe R. R. for three days visit here. Then I go East with them on the 15th— 7 A. M.

Met Ripley at lunch; he wanted me to go on an expedition over new line from Prescott to Colorado River below Needles, with him.

Mail sent on 16th from Boston to Auditorium Annex, Chicago, will reach me. Till 10th here. Your sweet peas up. 83
