One is a typewritten, hand signed letter on the Explorer's Club stationery from Jackson to Boice thanking him for several photos (which are tucked into the book) showing areas in Wyoming that Jackson had himself photographed many years before. The other is a hand signed typewritten note saying "Thanks for clipping about South Pass, Sandys, and Green River Trails; reminding me very much of my flying trip by motor car a few years ago, over the same trails". There is also Mr. Jackson's personal business card listing his address as the Explorer's Club in New York City. The letter and business card are tipped in as are a number of newspaper clippings, some of which are also loose. The book is in good condition in dust jacket.
