Weve began our trip now and its been pritty slow going. I forget how the trip was from Boston to Missouri! Only, this trip is certin to be many times longer than even that one! There was a suprise addision to the help. Mister Vickers has employd two Indian fellas to come along with us. Their names are too funny to try and write, and they are real quiet, but they seem nice enough and not savage like you hear bout in some of the tales.
Sincerely,
Hattie
