Clara C. Chapin to Erasmus M. Correll

Riverton Sept 19th, 81
Dear Sir,

As requested, I send instructions concerning your journey west. You will arrive in Red Cloud Monday evening about 7:30. I have written there & asked that private entertainment be furnished for that night & so save hotel expsense (sic) - so you will probably be met at the depot. Next morning the train west leaves Red Cloud at 9:40, & you go on to Bloomington, reaching there about noon. I am to direct you, on your arrival there to Mrs. Switzer of the B&M Card office. I don't think I can go to Bloomington myself as was intended, but will try & see you at the depot as you pass through Riverton & tell you of the arrangements made. Wednesday the 28th you return to Riverton by the afternoon train & speak here that evening. The 29th you are advertised for Red Cloud, & Friday the 30th for Hastings, which town you are at 8:30 am & I am to direct you to Mr. Yocum.

I can inform you of the Red Cloud arrangements while you are in Riverton.
Hoping I have been sufficiently explicit, I remain yours &c.
C.C. Chapin
