The letter follows:
Leaving Bozeman Sept. 3rd.,
ieisurely jaunt by way Of Norris
and Virginia City, with Twin Bridges
as our objective, where we endevored
to make a second rate farm hand for
2 couple Of weeks, also to develop a
littel push to our enegy, in proper
alton for our long grind of 1900 to
$500 mile auto trip to Los Angeles,
and to give the Lott family time to
patch up their daily outline on the
farm so they may accompany us as
far as Spokane.
Our party consisted of Mrs. and
Nr. Martinez Lott, Steve White and
myself, and our vehicles consisted OF
a Henry and a REQ. Leaving Twin
Bridges, Sept. 18th. we reached Butte
without any serious trouble. For the
benefit Of those who follow little

be out of place. AS you approach the
n. p. depot the Yellowstone signs VIII
take YOU away up to Park and Main
streets a climb owing to the rock
pavement, and after going west
about a mile you drop down the i

miles of very rough macadGm road
but as we approached Deer Lodg
We noticed a wonderful improvement
Deer Lodge was our objective,
distance Of 81 niles. We have so ia
travelled about 1909 miles stopping
at numerous camps, but must sa
that the little city of Deer Lodge ha
done more for the cOnviencnes OF tn
auto travelling public than any W
