Dear Father
I trust this letter will find
you in good health as it leaves me at
present. I recieved your verry welcome
letter dated May the first just after posting
the last letter I wrote you. As regards what
I saw at the Falls, will say they landed us
at Cliftan at 9 PM, this is on the Canada
side and so we had a ride across the suspen-
sion bridge; we remained in the cars all night.
Early morn found us making our way up
to the Fall a distance of one mile & 1/2. The air
was so full of mist that we could not gain
as good a view as if it had ben clear, still
the great volumes of watter coming over the
horse shoe falls presented a grand sight and
one calculated to inspire a green Utah boy
with awe. These falls are 1800 ft across with
a fall of 160 ft, the sheat of watter is 23 ft thick
in the thickest part. A young man from Arizona
and I went down under the falls, it was a thrilling
