Pullman excursion train, the first through train from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, having now been a week _en route_ for San Francisco,

our journey, hereby express our entire satisfaction with the
arrangements made by Mr. George M. Pullman, and our admiration
of the skill and energy which have resulted in the construction,
equipment and general management of this beautiful and commodious
moving hotel.
_Resolved_, That we return our cordial thanks to Mr. Pullman for the
very great pains taken by him beforehand to make the present journey
safe and pleasurable; that we recognize the complete success which
has followed all his efforts, and that we extend to him our sincere
wishes for such a degree of prosperity to attend all his operations

public-spirited, sagacious, and liberal railroad men of the present
day.

point to point, through all the Western States, the many evidences

be no delay in placing the elegant and homelike carriages upon the
principal routes in the New England States, and we will do all in
our power to accomplish this end.
