October 1868
The rails reached Green River, Wyoming Territory, on Oct. 1, 1868. Jack makes a very short visit to Painesville in early Oct. Frances writes that Dan Casement's wife Mary (also known as Mollie) is still unwell. Frances is upset that not only did Jack appear to forget their wedding anniversary on Oct. 15, but she has only received one letter in four weeks. Jack explains that someone is always visiting his tent or he is on the move. He notes that Thomas Durant is there and, while trying to hurry things up, is only creating delays.
