Grand Hotel

Cincinnati, Sept 28 1895
Dear Daughter
We arrived here on
time [^] 630pm, and will learn at 830 am
in the morning Ellen is in better
trim this evening than she was
last we had a rather mixed
experience on the train. the
cars were full two in a seat
the air was chilly and on
account of obgections of one or

compartment too her self. I will

stop over too morrow night.
She is stubborn nothing new

adgoining for my self, all of
which I considered the neatest
kind of economy, but my
efforts were not appreciated.
She wanted two small rooms
and have Eleanor sleep with
her. it came my turn to get
mad and I found it worked
all O.K.
Love to all
William Gleason
