Lincoln and Hatch reach Council Bluffs and stop at Pacific House. 
They go sightseeing with N. S. Bates and W. H. M. Pusey, formerly of 
Springfield. At Cemetery Hill north of town they view countryside 
north, south, and west. Lincoln, learning that Grenville M. Dodge, 
railway construction engineer, is registered at Pacific House, chats 
with him for two hours on hotel porch about western railroads. 
Lincoln accepts invitation to speak on "the great political issues of 
the day" following evening.
