Unidad documental simple 14 - Letter from Francis Peloubet Farquhar to Geoffrey Winthrop Young

1 sheet, typescript with MS annotations.

2930 Avalon Avenue, Berkeley 5, California. - Is very grateful to Young for sending him the books, is 'now inspired to go ahead with the bibliography of your published writings - that is, those on mountain subjects'; will have to come to England to do this, and has accepted the appointment from the Sierra Club to be its representative at the Centenary of the Alpine Club in November. Will spend two or three weeks in Britain around the event, and hopes to have the opportunity of visiting Young. Would very much like the pamphlet 'The Influence of Mountains upon the Development of Human Intelligence'; will soon send him a paper on Drake's visit to California in 1579.

Sends best wishes for Young's 'enjoyment of the Alpine Club celebrations in Wales and in the Alps'

MS note by Young at the bottom of the letter, explaining that Farquhar has a 'unique library of Mountain Books', and that he has sent him his father's copy [of Wall and Roof Climbing?] and The Roof-Climber's Guide to Trinity.
