Keeps all kinds of Supplies for Man and Beast and Accomodations for the Traveling Public
Red Fork Ranch, Indian Territory Nov 6th, 1877
Dear Dot,
The stage starts in a few minutes and I have only time to say that I am well.
+ I have heard nothing of my cattle yet and Indian Agent Miles told me Sunday he could give me no encouragement. _____ says that he has information of the ponies being out on the buffalo range in possession of police of the South Western tribes.
+ The Cheyenne and Arapahoes start out on their buffalo hunt in about two or three weeks.
+ This is a sheet of paper I borrowed from Dan.
+ It is all good except accomodations etc. What kind of accomodations would you call it when every fellow has to furnish his own bed or keep the fire company. The ranche is comfortable and warm but a dirt floor is bad to sleep on without blankets. I have a pair of heavy californias and a splendid buffalo robe. So I fare "fine."
+ We have lots of gar___.
+ My letters have grown rather uninteresting Dot I know and it is because I have grown accustomed to frontier life and nothing is alone. But I will try to write you a good long letter soon and tell you about the Indians Territory laws, prairie dogs, wolves and everything I can think of. I would like to see you all at home and especially my dear, good Mother. Kiss Lizzie for me and with love to all I remain your affectionate brother.
Bert
