On Tuesday we set sail for Grand Canyon and after a very trying trip across the desert we arrived early on Wednesday morning and stayed at the Bright Angel Camp at the head of Bright Angel trail.

"Grand Canyon from
Grand View Point"
September 1924

Bill had developed a bad cold by this time so he spent the day in bed so I did not go far away but in the morning took a short trip around the rim of the Canyon and returned to lunch and in the afternoon just hung around with another chap I met there that night I attended a lecture and found out a lot about the history of the place.

The North Rim is 8000 feet above sea level, the South 7000 while the depth of the Canyon from top to the bed of the Colorado River below this way ["V" diagram] is just over a mile. I think 5580 feet so she is some gutter. It is 20 miles across in the widest place and 8 is the narrowest measurement and it is 250 miles long. I cannot describe the place as is it so wild and rugged so have enclosed some postcards of the place instead to convey some idea of the grandeur.

[Harry included two postcards, as promised. He also took a number of photos of the Grand Canyon itself and also some snaps of the "history".]
