fairly cheerful - about as he was in 1910, at
the time of the Colorado River expedition. But
he is forgetful, and shows his old age plainly -
and normally. He doesn't approve of the ways
of Huey! But his perceptions are dim.
I am quite favorably impressed with the earnestness
and general good judgement of Clinton G. Abbott,
Director of the Museum here. He seems to have the
confidence of many of the foremost business-men
of the city. This noon he took me to the
University Club to lunch, with Mr. Joseph W. Sefton,
Jr., a banker. The latter is now President of the
San Diego Society of Natural History and a good patron.
Sunday evening I called on Mr. + Mrs. Albert M.
Ingersoll and they invited over Mr. + Mrs. John
Burnham. Ingersoll have a wonderful, well cared-
for collection of birds' eggs, nearly all taken
by himself during the past 40 years. And
Burnham, a man of 58 or so and successful
in real estate, emulates him. The latter, too, is
treasurer of the San Diego society of Natural History.
Burnham has a son, Gordon, in business with him,
when I met. He has been into the San
Pedro Martir section of Lower California, and through
him and several others I have learned much
of possible use as to how to get about among
the people of that territory. This information
I am writing to Lamb.
