He confirms my statements, that the whole swindle was engineered by the same persons who put through the sale : A, B, C, and D . Comment is superfluous.
I did not expect, however, that my state- ments, made a year ago, would be so fully and so rapidly confirmed.
The names in the following letter are all those of assistants on the survey.
TO WILLIAM DWIGHT WHITNEY CAMBRIDGE, September 25, 1873.
MY DEAR W. D. , Goodyear writes that some men have climbed Mt. Whitney on the southwest side, going fi...rst to the bogus one and then on to the genuine. Hunter, Rabe & Co. Have not been heard from, but the men who made the ascent had Belshaw's aneroid with them, which stood 1000 feet higher on the real, than on the bogus summit. Belshaw's previous trigonometrical measurements gave 900 feet difference. If King's barometric result on the peaks he ascended be taken as correct, and 900 feet added, we have 14, 612 + 900 = 286 JOSIAH DWIGHT WHITNEY 15, 512! Anyway Mt. Whitney is pretty safe to be over 15, 000.
