[San Francisco letter written February 9, 1866. Recovered from Montana Post, March 10, 1866, p. 1.]
Leaving for Montana
There are a number of persons here from the Blackfoot country, and they are
making arrangements to leave here for Montana again in the course of a month
or six weeks. They will go by Johns' road from Red Bluff to Owyhee, which possesses
the advantages of plenty of grass, water at convenient camping intervals, only
two streams to cross, and no tolls to pay. It is supposed, with reason, that
the bulk of the emigration, in the spring, will pass over this road.
