Typed copy of document 12989. Susan Symmes and her husband have travelled a long way over dreadful roads, and the hundred miles still to come are still worse, she hears. The mountains are called "Nobs here, but to be sure the Nobs are such mountains as you never have I hope never will see." The Symmes's main object is to avoid the Army en route, for "it would never do for us to encounter 500 waggon s and 1700 troops."
