The following is from my Grandmother Johnson's writing about a trip from Iowa to California. She and four of her sisters traveled to visit two other sisters. I scanned the original and pieced it back together. (See the end for the cast of characters.)
Please notice the prices and especially watch for the "rest station" where four of the sister used it with one nickel. I hope you enjoy this amazing trip.
