Iowa City, Sept. 11th, 1865. Dear sister Ellen; I am glad to say I arrived safely in this city last Saturday about five O'Clock. The roads to the railroad Station was very rough at places and at places miry so that the coach stuck fast in the mud twice. It cost me four dollars and fifty cents to the rail way at Kellog's Station some nine miles East of Newton. It rained a very heavy shower Friday forenoon. I purchased a ticket at the station of Kellogs, for Iowa City for three dollars and fifty cents. Boarding is worth from $1.30, $2.00, $3.00 per day Those at one dollar and half, no [white?] person from the country has olfactory organs
