Percival Lowell

You are missing nothing by not coming. We had a killing frost on the night of the 2nd and in consequence the garden largely is not, and the aspen on the mountain which had begun to turn beautifully have gone into drab. A pretty poor Providence. That you may feel here, nevertheless, I send some selected photographs.

Here are some portraits of the planet taken Oct. 11.

Look at the Fons Juventse and the Chrysas connecting it with Maeisia Silva! The planet wants you to be kept au courant.

The oaks are now beautiful in gold and russet and red. 92
