Description

"The fifty mile hikes you referred to are a lot of bunk"

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, March 1, 1963. Letter to Phil Kerby, editor of Frontier! The Voice of the New West. In part: "The fifty mile hikes you referred to are a lot of bunk. For people from forty to seventy, a walk of from one and one-half to two miles before breakfast is all they need to take because the present generation has almost forgotten how to walk. But for the people who haven't walked, to start out to walk forty or fifty miles is a silly procedure and is of no benefit to them." In fine condition.
