My Dear Mr. Holmes: 
I learned recently of your being a member 
of the Hayden party that explored the Mount of the 
Holy Cross Region here in Colorado in '73 or f 74. 
We now have a society called The Mount of 
the Holy Cross Pilgrimage, Incorporated, which has 
for its purpose the making of the Mount of the Holy 
Cross better known to Colorado and the rest of the 
world. We have held two annual pilgrimages already 
and the third will be held this coming July, a 
bulletin concerning which I am enclosing. Should 
you have the time and inclination to write of your 
experiences at that time and if you have any pictures 
that you cam spare temporarily we should be glad to 
use them in some of our bulletins and possibly some 
newspaper articles. We have a development so far 
that enables us to make the trip to the top of 
Notch Mountain, directly opposite the Great Cross, 
and back to the railroad all within one day and 
this coming summer, beginning in the early spring, 
the D env er Post has agreed to build a four mile 
auto road^Trom the' railroad to our base camp, which 
is half way to the Cross. Ultimately we expect to 
build an auto road to the crest of Notch Mountain, 
directly opposite the Cross. It is also our plan 
to build this summer a small Chapel capable of 
accomodating three hundred people and eventually 
we plan to build a large Cathedral just to the 
left of the great notch in Notch Mountain, directly 
opposite the Mount of the Holy Cross, and a small 
Temple of Baptism, using the waters that come from 
the melting snow r s of the Cross for baptismal services.
