To Omaha, Nebraska

October 10, 1877

Previously unpublished.

Within one hour’s ride of Omaha. Father rested well last night for him. Troubled with heart some. Appetite quite good. We think that he will endure the journey well. I read to him for two hours yesterday in an interesting religious book purchased of book agent. This passed away considerable time. We are all doing well. Accommodations good. Our trust is in the Lord. We have secured services of porter to help us with baggage. It rained all day yesterday. Today it is sunshiny and pleasant, and we are all pleasant and cheerful. 3LtMs, Lt 20, 1877, par. 1
