Dear Ned:
I've now gone through all Waage material (notebooks, maps, and otherwise)
looking for the word fault. The result is that in 8 notebooks dealing with the Colorado
Front Range there are 25 pages that mention faults. Some of the pages have more than
one fault. Some of these faults have strike, dip, and movement direction recorded. For
the record, I've listed below the notebooks and fault pages below:

I'm sending you copies of all these pages plus the complete measured section for
each fault. In your copies I've put a red dot everywhere the word fault appears. Also
included is a copy of one quadrangle map with two locs on it. So that we can keep track
of this information a copy of this letter is being filed with our document 472 as well as
the Division letter file. Let me know if you ever locate Waage's field maps and photos.
Sincerely,
Copeland MacClintock
