\V(' wish to till s])ace in one slee])er by the time the 
train leaves Denison, and if onr Oklahoma, Kansas 
and Nel)i‘aska friends will till si)ace of another sleep¬ 
er by the time the train leaves Parsons, we will have 
one jolly ])arty to St. Louis, and we trust it will be 
considerably enlai\£»'ed there. 
The IM. K. tk T. Passenger agent advises the writer 
that if 18 i)assengers are on board ont of Denison or 
Parsons, a s])ecial slee])er will be arranged to rim 
through, without change, to Cleveland. Should there 
be as many as 8() ont of Parsons, two si)ecial sleepers 
will be ])laced at onr service. 
The writer will be ])leased to corres])ond with any 
one intending to attend the convention and make res¬ 
ervation for space on these special sleepers. All con¬ 
veniently located to use this route are specially re- 
(piested to go with the “Texas Party.” 
Respectfully, 
Will B. IMnnson, 
ATce President for Texas.
