This is a letter from the Charles B. Moore Collection. It is written by Anna Boyd and is addressed to Charles B. Moore. She informs Moore about the reasons for the family's delay in continuing correspondence with the Moore family since their visit to Colorado. In this letter, Boyd discusses the weather's affect on their crops for this spring. She details the failures they had last season due to grasshoppers and hopes that this season would be better than the last. She notes that they did not have much success with fruit, though the gooseberry harvest looks promising. She mentions to Moore what the family plans to sow this season and tells him that they are all well at present. The envelope is included with the letter.

Photograph of a group of people in front of a railway car on the tracks and around the sides where large rocks and snow lay on the ground. The women wear long coats and the men wear suits. Everyone wears a hat, and some people hold snow in their hands or up to their mouths. A photographer's inscription at the top of the railway car reads, "No. 5 Aug 21, 1911 / On Pikes Peak Alt. 14147FT." The photograph is mounted to a black cardstock, which has an inscription on the back reading, "Miss Annie Belle Emery 1911," and she is denoted on the image with a question mark at the bottom of her jacket. The back of the board also has printed texts about the Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway, and the photographers imprint "J. F. Hiestand, official photographer."
