I supposed the article in the Baltimore Sun would be copied by the New York papers and possibly the Associated Press but apparently the doings of the Alpine Club did not attract attention elsewhere. The clipping bureau has not sent me a line so unless it should pop out unexpectedly I shall not trouble to reply. If the resolution had received wide circulation or if it should still, I think I could make a pungent and appropriate reply. I certainly should not have accepted an invitation to speak if I had expected to receive what everyone calls a very hard slap before my case had been fully presented; and everyone has said that not only should I have been justified in declining to speak afterwards if I had known what had taken place in the afternoon, but that my dignity demanded that I should have done so. You did not reply to one of my questions as to who were present at the afternoon meeting. It is not of great importance, but I had a little curiosity to know. I suppose there were Putman, Fay, Rotch, Vaux, Reid and yourself. Perhaps you will kindly mention the others if any. As it was a public meeting or a general meeting of the Club the results of which were given to the Press, of course there is no reason for not giving me the names if you are willing to trouble yourself so far.

I had not been aware that her interest in my ascent of Huascarán extended so far, though I am not surprised. What fine thing it is to have plenty of money! From the wording of the cable I conclude that Mrs. Workman has had a triangulation of Huascarán made by someone on the ground, though the coincidence of her figures 22187 with Reginald Enoch's 22180 is remarkable. Since the resolution of the Alpine Club in regard to the exaggerated reports as to the height of Huascarán was passed previous to hearing any statement from me (I believe the words 'by the press of the country' were not in the original resolution) and as I have been ignored in any investigation that the committee appointed for the purpose may have made, it would be superfluous for me to make any comments now. I can only feel a slight degree of amusement in contrasting the very critical attitude of the Club towards my climb with their easy acceptance of Dr. Cook's improbable story of his ascent of Mt. McKinley, backed neither by photographic evidence nor any other, although he had never climbed a mountain of any sort before. Doubtless I have reason to be thankful that the fact itself has not been questioned of my reaching the summit of a peak at least higher than Mt. McKinley, whatever may be its precise altitude. May I beg you to present my compliments to the members and guests of the Alpine Club assembled in Boston with my best wishes for a delightful meeting of which the list of distinguished guests gives ample assurance. Yours very truly Annie S. Peck" Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Correspondence, handwritten on paper.

He is as unwilling to be beaten as I am I think. I have met the Parkers, Mr. Belmore H. Browne, and Merl La Voy, their extra [indecipherable] and have seen the letters and pictures. Mt. McKinley was different in every particular from Blackburn. They got within 300 ft. of the top and really overcame all of its difficulties, so that I think their really great achievement should count as a first ascent. As mountaineering it sounds to me no more difficult than Blackburn most it not so bad nor so dangerous, but it is far larger, colder, higher, and a greater endurance test than Blackburn on that account. Blizzards kept them from the final easy summit twice, and their margins of food prevented a third attempt. Mr. Brown seems to me to be the real [indecipherable] of the try, modest, a real sport in his fairness and ability, and the one that did all the hard work and organization, and led and found the way. I urged him to ask Prof. Parker to nominate him to the Alpine Club, with me for seconder. He is exactly the type of man that I personally most welcome to the Club, an educated gentleman and a real mountaineer. I want to suggest his name as guest and chief speaker at our annual dinner. He would not be as academic and dull as Prof. Parker and could give a far more vivid and intelligible story of the [indecipherable]. He tells me that his pictures have turned out finely, and he leaves in a few days for N.Y., where he is to spend the winter. He is to write three or more articles on McKinley for the "World Today." As to lecturing in Brooklyn, I shall be happy to do so if you want me to, but I have to charge $50 and my expenses, because of the cost of such expeditions and the slides. I could speak on "The Ascent of Mt. Blackburn, Alaska" or "Through the Alaskan Wilderness." Your encouragement to write a book is grateful, and I may try. I have enough to say and ample illustrations, but no confidence in my ability or justification in presenting it to a publisher and readers. I don't want to spend months for nothing while the world needs real service from able bodied workers like me. I am returning shortly via Glacier National Park, which I shall observe as a possible camping ground for the Alpine Club. The N.E. side of Mt. Rainier would seem to me a better place for us, and Mr. [indecipherable] Curtis of Seattle, a good guide to it. Was he elected? He has received no notification, although proposed months ago. Neither has Mr. G. W. Handy, whom you were kind enough to second. Mr. Parker believes that one of [indecipherable] Loyd's party got to 14,000 ft. on McKinley, but no higher.

The letter is dated September 11, 1912 and is sent from the Hotel Frye in Seattle, WA. The letter discusses an ascent of Mt. McKinley by colleagues and how it compared to her ascent of Mt. Blackburn.

She also happily agrees to a lectureship in Brooklyn, but says she must charge a rate of $50 plus expenses. Keen talks about a trip through Glacier National Park and seeing Mt.
