A nighttime view looks out over Denver from the veranda of the Buffalo Bill Memorial Museum. Three coin-operated viewing telescopes stand along the wooden railing in the foreground. The city lights spread across the dark landscape below, creating a broad glowing panorama. 1955.

As one steps out on this veranda a magic sight bursts upon the eye. Thousands of lights like strings of luminous beads, extend from north to south and east to west over the sixty square miles of Denver's territory. One is reminded of the line "The night has a thousand eyes, the day but one."
Dear Lilly,

All well. Love
