User-Contributed Transcription Emporia, Kans Sept. 28. 1885.My Dear Sisters,It is now about 6 o'clock A.M. and while Mary and the boys are asleep I will improve the time in writing. We had delightful weather for our trip. Not so dusty as at some times. Although we did not succeed in securing sleeping car accomodations for the first night we had ample room in the coach and enough wraps. We each had a seat, and rested quite will. Before buying my tickets as I first decided to over the West Shore from Utica I again went to the Central ticket office and told Mr. Brown that I had decided on the other route as I could save quite a little by doing so He then told me he would sell me 1st class tickets over the Central, and Lake shore at the same price so I bought them, and bought two half fare tickets for Carroll and Charlie and got them through without any difficulty. We had 4 hours at Chicago from 8 A.M. to 12 M. which we improved in visiting Lincoln Park we were much interested in seeing the animals, and as white Polar bears. Grizly bears and a number of other kinds of bears, wolves, wild cat, parairie dogs, and so many other kinds of animals that I cannot remember besides a fine collection of birds of which the bald headed eagle was not the lesser. It was quite warm while we were there and has been ever since. We were fortunate in securing a state room for 7 from Davenport, Ia. to Kansas City. We had two double and two single berths. Miss Webber
