From your letter of June 18, it is highly probable that Lake Algonquin washed the shorelines on N side of Superior for a long time as any beach 1000' would be too low to connect with Brule-St. Croix outlet at 1022' and would then fall into the Algonquin series. Even at Duluth the lowest Duluth beach is ~50' above the bed of the outlet head. I now calculate that there was a nearly 200' drop in the W end of the Superior basin from lowest Duluth to highest Algonquin beach. I still am uncertain whether the Algonquin itself extended into the W end of the Superior basin to form a beach about 200' lower than the lowest Duluth, or if that beach was formed by a transition lake that discharged into Algonquin around the ice edge near Marquette. I may abandon this second idea. I would like to clear up the question as to whether the uplift affecting the Algonquin beaches began when the ice still filled the E part of the Basin and rested on the edge of the Northern Peninsula from near Marquette E to Whitefish Point. I have Coleman's report on Lake Ojibway (Bureau of Mines, 1909) and a letter from Coleman stating that the features he classes as beaches in 1909 are really so. Some of his evidence was hearsay, and some from notes taken for another project. I would much rather trust your notes from 1895 than Coleman's. If you have any chance to go up to the Elsie-Perrinton area this summer, I would be glad to come up for 1-2 days work on shorelines. Mr. Allen might want to see them with us, as it is not far from Lansing. It might be worth his while to prepare a folio on these quadrangles if you cared to do it. I think you would have unusually good maps of an interesting area that might show the shifting of the hinge lines better than anything else now available. I visited some grocery stores this AM to gather testimonials about the staff of the Reuellen Hospice. The cashier of the 1st store refused to recommend them because they were late in paying their bills, sometimes as much as 3 months. Mr. Kyser, owner of the 2nd store, said he did not have trouble with them paying their bills, but the Reuellen Hospice had been incorporated and ladies running it are no longer personally responsible for debts incurred by the Hospice. Mr Kyser thhought Miss Cornwill seemed a better business manager than Mrs. Field. Kyser said he would write Mrs. Taylor about his experiences, but he wished me to understand he does not guarantee their honesty or their ability to meet their future obligations. He suggested I go to the Court House to learn the status of their mortgage indebtedness, etc., but I am not sure it is worth while. Advise Mrs. Taylor that she should collect rent every month and not accumulate an amount they could not pay. If they do a good paying business, they may meet all obligations, but if they do not succeed, whoever trusts them may incur a loss. I have not yet rec'd your Album of Views, and am greatly obligated to you for sending them. P.S. Just rec'd the album of Views; they look very interesting.
