/ Expect to leave Manchester on train
due at II 40 p. m. the Goth and arrive at
Platte the following day where l will
be found for two weeks at least, and
will meet you at the depot if you will
write or wire me in time that you are
coming. l would perfer paying for
kilograms one or two days before you
start that may know when and how
many are coming. Don't wait for ex-
cursion rates, but pay little more and
thus avoid the jams and confusion of
those days. 1t will pay you well for
the extra expense and II you purchase
100 acres or more your railroad fare will
be deducted from the price of your pur-
chases. Take the 11:49 p. m. train at
Manchester and arrive in Sioux City
next morning about 8 o'clock and leave
via q. M. & ST. II. at 9:25 which gives
you ample time for breakfast. MilWau-
kee depot is but a few steps across the
tracks from the Union depot in which
you arrive on the Illinois Central.
Kindly come bringing all your preju-
dices with you and if not convinced to
the contrary with your own eyes, you
are at liberty to say Kenyon is wild. |
