Letter accompanying rucksack reads: “Dear Jonah, I have a packsack which I purchased in Banff nearly 52 years ago. It doesn’t look like much as it is pretty old and delapidated, but it has lots of character as I carried it on my back while travelling over hundreds of miles of trails in Banff and Jasper Parks by foot, skiis and snowshoes. I am enclosing a picture of me wearing the packsack . . . As I will have no further use for the packsack I thought you might like to have it as a present on your eleventh birthday . . .”
