Mr. Anderson came to our car to talke to us right after breakfeast. I thought i would dislike him immediatly, but did not. He was tall and distinguished looking and seemed not to notice the smell of garlic and sausage and boiled potatoes and cabbage and onions... Mr. Anderson introduced himself and then said,
"...Each 1 of you is a pioneer in the true spirit of this country..." He told us that tge "hardships of the journy will soon give way to the pleasures and pride of new homes adn new lives..." I dont know about this as i was perfectly happy in my old home adn old life, but Mr. Anderson has a nice voice adn the Idaho Territory didn't seem so impossibly far away today...
