Dear Friends,
Saw this canyon today and many other beautiful sights. Taking a lot of pictures. Hope to see some bears soon as I brought plenty of graham crackers.

Dear Petty:
We are at Old Faithful tonight. Last night we stayed at Canyon. Luverne said she awakened early & saw some gal headed for the wash rooms & her bath-robe pulled tightly around her trying to look 6 directions at once. I guess she thought she’d be a juicy breakfast for a hungry bear.

Thought you might be interested in the architecture - Old Faithful Inn. Had an elegant trip through the Park. Mrs. D and I met some bears. She ran one way & the bears the other. Don’t know which was the most scared. Arrived Los Angeles this afternoon. It is a beautiful city. Received your letter at Yellowstone.

Yellowstone Park July 4
Dear Betty,
I have been seeing today, bears that look like this. I did think of sending you one by mail - parcel post - but was afraid he’d raise the old scratch.
With love, Grandpa

Tues. Noon,
Rudy insists he saw this bear with the seat of your pants in his mouth. I think Ray helped him with a few of the details. Lunch here and on our way soon.

Dear Grandma:
We are looking over this Park. Last night we saw the bears fed, heard a lecture about the bears and attended a campfire meeting. We think it is very interesting.

Bears like this are all about us. I saw 3 today all up the same tree. Am sending this chap to you. Feed him good but don’t let him nip your fingers.

Hi Folks,
Got a Cabin with “Old Faithful” in our back yard. We spent most of the day feeding the Bears. Betty took more pictures of them. I do hope they come out OK. We have spent 2 days in the Park. We will head for the Tetons tom.

Dear Richard,
I have been in Yellowstone for a week now. Our cabin is in the main geyser basin so we can see plenty of geysers. I have seen plenty of bears too, but some of them get a little too “friendly.”

Dear Paul,
This country is all that it is cracked up to be and more. It is wonderful! We have seen a mess of bears - Grizzly and Black, Moose, Buffaloes, loads of deer, elk, ducks etc. There are lots of fish in the streams too. A fellow could spend a couple of weeks here easily.

We have been having a wonderful trip thru the park. There are surely beautiful things to see here. The nights are plenty cold and the bears plenty friendly. We are starting home soon.

Dear Mama:
Here we are where the wild bears grow & where the nights are pretty cold. Betty Lou is enjoying all she sees & will remember it for a while at least. Will spend the rest of today here & will come back through if you meet us in Butte.
