(soft bango)

00:03.003 --> 00:05.905 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
- [Jackson] Sunday,
July 5th, 1903.

00:06.940 --> 00:08.441 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
My Darling Swipes,

00:10.410 --> 00:12.612 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
We expected our
express on number five

00:12.612 --> 00:14.748 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
at three this afternoon.

00:14.748 --> 00:16.716 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
But, a message this noon
from the train agent

00:16.716 --> 00:20.653 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
says that he has nothing,
so it is another day.

00:21.988 --> 00:24.491 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
It has been an awful
long time to us,

00:24.491 --> 00:28.461 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
and I shall be mighty glad
when we are on the way again.

00:28.461 --> 00:30.830 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
And, unless another
serious accident happens,

00:30.830 --> 00:32.499 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
we ought to be able
to make good time

00:32.499 --> 00:34.167 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
across these plains.

00:36.369 --> 00:39.339 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
Well, tomorrow is
our anniversary,

00:39.339 --> 00:41.775 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
and I wish I could be with you.

00:41.775 --> 00:45.812 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
I wanna celebrate here,
by getting my new parts.

00:45.812 --> 00:49.983 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
I shall think of you a good
deal tomorrow, as I always do.

00:54.387 --> 00:56.523 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
You are the best little
wife in the world,

00:56.523 --> 01:00.226 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
and I'm a mighty lucky
fella to have you.

01:00.226 --> 01:03.229 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
Yes, old girl, I appreciate it,

01:03.229 --> 01:07.167 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
if sometimes I have a
queer way of showing it.

01:07.167 --> 01:09.369 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
Four years, tomorrow.

01:09.369 --> 01:12.672 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
They have been very short
and dear ones to me.

01:12.672 --> 01:17.544 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
You have done everything in
the world to make me happy.

01:17.544 --> 01:22.115 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
I shall just tear up the
ground until I can be with you.

01:22.115 --> 01:23.983 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
With lots of love to all,

01:23.983 --> 01:25.418 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
I am yours.

01:25.418 --> 01:26.252 align:left position:40%,start line:89% size:50%
Nelson.

01:27.954 --> 01:32.025 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
P.S. I am not much of hand
to write love letters.

01:32.025 --> 01:35.662 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
You didn't give me a
chance for much practice,

01:35.662 --> 01:38.164 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
but you know dear, how I feel.

01:41.568 --> 01:43.736 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
July 6th, Archer, Wyoming.

01:45.338 --> 01:47.440 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
Parts did not come today.

01:52.479 --> 01:56.049 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
- [Narrator] Jackson had now
been on the road for 42 days,

01:56.049 --> 01:59.986 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
nearly half of the 90 days
specified in his wager.

01:59.986 --> 02:02.922 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
But, he was only a third
of the way to New York,

02:02.922 --> 02:07.861 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
and his car now seem to be
breaking down at every turn.

02:07.861 --> 02:10.930 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
Even worse, with Tom
Fitch and Marius Croward

02:10.930 --> 02:13.166 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
and their Packard following
a more direct route,

02:13.166 --> 02:15.101 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
Jackson was concerned that

02:15.101 --> 02:18.004 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
they might be
catching up with him.

02:19.839 --> 02:20.673 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
They were.
