Dear Friends:
We are. here at Dixon 46 northwest

They are one-half mile from town.
There is a good school here with sew

school Monday morning after leaving
Plentywood Friday at 800 p. M. On
our way to Medicine Lake we lost a
grain sack with clothing, gas iron
and Fuller bath and we stopped in
that town and put an ad in the paper
there and then drove to Hinsdale, ar
irving there at 1880. We left at $3.50
at the next morning, had dinner at
Havre, took in the sights at Great
Falls and stopped at Wolf Creek Sat-
urday night, reaching that place at
$3.50, where we had a good night s
rest. The drive through the noun
tains was wonderful. Ice and snow
lay along the drive and one could
see the snow on the mountain tops.
We stopped at Missoula and visited
the University buildings and also
drove around the city which is a very
nice place. We then left for Dixon
reaching our destination at GAS Sun.

with no car trouble until we got 25
