It's been hot down there and they are thirsty," as a handwritten inscription. The second one, (0272_0003) reads, "One of several dorms that happened to be mine. (The arrow points to room) No grass to mow. One of its good points. Radios would not receive programs until early night, reason- no ground-no moisture in soil," in a handwritten inscription.

The third picture, (0272_0004) which is upside down, reads "One pour wide getting in each other's way; hi-line moving catwalk soon will be finished," as a handwritten inscription on the image about the Hoover Dam under construction.
