Bear Chamberlain: 
I have your letter of February 24th. Am greatly obliged for the informa- 
tion it contained. I appreciate it all. Your surmise regarding the official 
nature of the trip is correct with the exception that the Grand Canyon, YoSemite 
and probably Mariposa will be personal* I find that Eoswell. Hew Mexico is 
nearly two hundred xailes from Albuquerque and not connected by railroad so that 
will not be possible probably. Before your letter can© 1 had written for the 
four Geological Guide books which you mention but 1 have heard nothing from them# 
I think I nay b® ablo to get them in Washington, but if not I stay write or wire you 
from Washington to raail some of them to me. If I should wire to rail then to 
Albuguerque, W. M* the correct address would be o/o W# E. Long, 202 Korbor Building, 
Albuquerque, 11. M* If to Gan Francisco, true correct address would be c/0 Dr. E* 
P, ITeineeke, Forest Service, 114 Sanoome St., Dan Francisco, Calif* I shall not 
ask you to send them, however, except as a last resort* 
As I expect to route from Washington to St* Louis on the B & 0, I shall have 
to route from JTew York to Washington also via B & 0 because the routing from Uew 
York to Washington cannot be by Pa. unless it is Pa. from Washington to St. Louis* 
This will mean that I will have to change in Hew York* Just at present the idea 
of going from Providence to Hew York on the midnight train and taking tins B & 0 at 
West 23rd St. early in the forenoon looks tarry attractive. It looks now as if 1
