Letter from William H. Anderson to his daughter Frances, written from the "southern part" of New Mexico near Rincon. In the letter Anderson describes his travels from Boston to New Mexico by railroad. The letter was intended as a geography lesson for his daughter and Anderson carefully traces his progress through Buffalo, Detroit, down the Mississippi River to St. Louis, through Missouri and Kansas, and finally through Colorado to New Mexico. Anderson includes a slightly more detailed description of Kansas City, Missouri, where he rode in a cable street car. In addition to tracking his geographical progress Anderson writes of difficulties encountered with cattle on the railroad tracks.
