Seattle, Monday March 7 It rained all day. At 9.30 A.M. called on Prof. Dean and found him with gray hair. Said it came on with his South American travels having contracted dysentery and malaria. Ever now his death is not far. He talked paleontology all day but so far I have not been able to make use of the N.W.-S.E. strata of anything. Washing ton, Dean thinks those strata are very old - maybe even Pre-Paleozoic and certainly not younger than Post Jurassic. Met his former students Mr. [illegible] and Mr. Ethington. Had lunch at the Faculty Club on the Univ. Campus.
