Dear Pernsldj 
I have your letter of October 25 and am very glad that you have 
decided to change the name of the Great Basin. I had already thought 
of this very thing myself but decided it was too late to make any changes 
° n yottr labels and no I had sort of "pigeon-holed” the idea until I saw 
you. 
I ara very glad to know that you took a panorama from the top of 
Grleoom* I think this will help otit matter* wonderfully for 1 had not 
the slightest idea when I worked on the map ac to the lay of the land 
to the eastward, and your views from the hill above the Locked Gamp will 
also come in very nicely for it is these side views that are lacking in 
my series. Even if some of the negatives are Very poor I hope you will 
send prints of than because outlines may show and help a lot. 
You and Podge may be Interested in knowing that I ara now working 
in odd moments upon a clay model of the Logan region, a little smaller 
than the map, trying to make it so that by sighting from certain points 
the profiles and contours will check up pretty closely with photographs. 
It is rather a tedious job but something that does not have to be finished
