Handwritten letter from Annie Peck to Henry G. Bryant, Secretary of the American Alpine Club. The letter is on the stationary of the Hotel Alabama in New York and is dated January 16, 1910. Peck writes about the resolution passed by the club the previous year regarding the determination of the height of Mt. Husscaran in Peru. She asks Bryant how her letter was received by the Club at their meeting and what action was taken regarding the resolution. She also speculates as to how Fanny Workman was arriving at her own estimate of the elevation of the mountain and complains that Workman would not share her estimates with Peck when asked. Peck also discusses her own work on the subject, mentions that a Dr. Cook had been dropped by the Club, though more quietly than he had been from other, similar clubs.

In the letter, Peck requests information about the number of AAC members present at the meeting of the club when a resolution was passed regarding the height of Mt. Huascaran and the names of those present. She also asks for the names of the people on the committee appointed to investigate and whether Mr. Bryant knows whether the investigation will involve triangulation or ascents of the mountain in question or research in books and papers on the matter already published. She mentions that she is very grateful for the information and requests a response the same evening of receipt of her letter or as soon as possible on the next day.
