The President of the Co. running between this place and Scott is here and tells me today that the best route is a daily line to Kansas City. Fare Kansas City to Fort Scott $10. Distance 95 miles. Time 48 hours Fare Fort Scott to Gibson $16. Disance 168 miles Time 3 days There are stages lines either daily or tri-weekly running from Fort Scott to Pleasant Hill, Neb. (on the R.R. 30 miles East of Kansas City to Lawrence and to Ottowa at Cattes Place connecting with railroad to Lawrence. Rail? if transportation by wagon is ample. time not specially pressing and you are bringing horses and carriages I should very decidedly recommend your coming across the country as I did - following my trail. You will see the best of Kansas and have nice little towns to stop at all the way. You could easily make the trip in fifteen days with a wagon train and should you choose could leave the train behind and come on in ten days yourself -- or less.
