Transcribe Dunraven. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1873-08-31)

there I could reach Edmonton un about 18 days & Edmonton is I believe less than a week from Ft. Benton & Benton I suppose about 3 or 4 days from Ft Ellis or Virginia City. If I find at Ft. Garry that the Country is quiet & that I should not be likely to have any trouble in crossing from the Canada side to Benton I shall take that route & shall not arrive at Ft Ellis or Virginia City until the middle of October
