Rambler notes on Chicago development and hotels
The Rambler describes Chicago’s rapid growth and urban filling up, noting post office lanes below ground level and the busy state of the city’s business heart. He praises William Price the postmaster, cites the Young Men's Democratic Association, and praises the Tremont inn for its status and location, mentioning a lease offer rejected by Gage Brothers & Drake. He hints at Tennessee travel in a future letter.
