mate. and companion across the plains in
1866 when Montana seemingly was out of
the world, but by perusing your paper I
hnd wondrous changes have taken place in
that always lovely country in the interval,
since you and stepped it from Diamond
down to your ranch on the Missouri valley.
l know you remember the tim. Then it,
was one broad expanse, wild and romantic
