Summary
Commenting on drunkeness and the Victorians; coming to the conclusion that they "would have both done well with the pre-Raphaelites"; reporting that he has "been unworthy of anything for some time now" and is in "a queer creative funk"; discussing the Rocky Mountains and noting that he "dream[s] of [his] mountains above Salt Lake City"; asking Sperisen to "haunt the canyons of Montgomery Street -- to be there to reassure me and my fellow men when we return."
