[Lewis]                                                                               Friday June 14^th 1805.

. . .  I now thought that if a skillfull painter had been asked to make a beautifull

cascade that he would most probably have presented the precise immage of this

one; nor could I for some time determine on which of those two great cataracts to

bestoe the palm, on this or that which I had discovered yesterday; at length I

determined between these two great rivals for glory that this was pleasingly

beautifull, while the other was sublimely grand.
