Letters six and seven are written on the same piece of paper. Letter six is from Electa C. Cook and letter seven is from George W. Cook. Both are to Sarah E. Cook.
George writes to his brothers about the railroad vote, and about bonds in Iowa Country and counties west of Iowa County. Land prices are also discussed.
This letter describing the travel from Connecticut to Iowa is probably the first letter sent from Grinnell, IA, to Meriden, CT. It seems to fix the arrival of George and Electa in Grinnell to late April 1857.
