An Afterglow
FLAGSTAFF
I meant to have given you a picture on a postal of our expedition up the Peaks on Sept. 28 Saddle, Fremont, Agassiz. It shall be noted in a postcard of the range.
Today there is the first snow on them after the storm last night; a powder near their tops. Below they are gorgeously belted with aspen, orange and gold.

I have nothing heavenly as yet to add. We are waiting for the moon to pass, to take pictures. Those already got have disclosed asteroids and some suspicious star characters. Our Sherlock Holmes is after them.
This is to give you the very latest from the field of operations.

Professor Morse left yesterday. Sorry to go but nervous to get back to civilization.
Miss Mary Proctor came last night and saw Jupiter and a beautiful nebula in Virgo. She remarked on how much better Jupiter showed than at the Lick.
