Prof. Bessey: -
DearSir: - We arrived at this place Sept. 1. The prairie is about eighty miles long and 12-15 miles broad very level, water within six to eight feet from the surface. The mountains are not very high they are partly covered with pine on the north slopes. Soldier Mt. is about 11000 feet higher [?] [?] of the principal parts. There is a lake in the triangular valley between them. This valley is said to be a very wild place and hard to get at, but we are going to get there. Mr. Perkins, the man we are staying with here, is going to drive us up as far as he can with a wagon, then we are going horse back as far as we can, and walk the rest of the way. We will try to get back to Lincoln the fifteenth. Mr. [?] has lots of bugs and I have lots of plants to show for our trip so far. We hope to get very many this mountain [?]
