Dear Mr. Kinney — Below you will find my list of food for one man 

 for one year. This is made up from a careful account of food used 

 en diffarent trips. At first I would have a surplus of some things, and 

 be very short in others, but of late years I have had neither trouble. 

 If one or more of the party are especially fond of some one food they 

 can take an excess of it, and less of something they don't care for. 

 Where green vegetables are taken, take six times the weight of the 

 evaporated. Nearly all new hands run out of salt in a few days; the 

 amount I mention will not be any too much. Take plenty of matches, 

 in tight -fitting covered can. Also, each person should fill a small vial 

 with matches and seal with wax and keep in a secure place, so that if 

 you fall in the river or get wet in rain you can start a fire. This list 

 is intended for good living, where there is good transportation by pack 

 animals or wagon, but for a trip on foot with no animals, one-half 

 pound of grape-nut, with a little salt, will sustain life very satisfac- 

 torily for a week or two, with perhaps a little tea. Yours very truly, 



(Signed) T. P. LUKBNS.
