Transcript

My dear Mr. Wadsworth

I am so overwhelmed with things to do that a year would be a short stay. Your reply to my telegram came and I think you for your liberality. This trip is like the outing of a city boy to the country for the first time. I was too long in one place.

This scenery too is fine enough to schock any mind. We have had several snowstorms and the ground is white—the canon looks more beautiful than ever. The pools are more refined in color but there is much romance in the falls and the canon. I never felt so fine in my life and am busy from morning until night. One can work so much more in this place—ever tiring.

My stay here will last until the first, perhaps I want to go to Lower Falls, they are fine. There are many things one wants to do in this place.

Believe me

Sincerely yours

J. H. Twachtman
