My dear Father,
We left New York
at 5 yesterday afternoon. The boat
was crowded with passengers, but
Wakeman
Birth: 1824-03-31 Death: 1889-06-29
had arranged with the
Captain
Unknown
, who made our voyage as
comfortable as possible. We found
Mr Sumner
Birth: 1785-02 Death: 1866-06-15
on board, and heard
of Gov. Morgan
Birth: 1811-02-08 Death: 1883-02-14
. We arrived
here at daybreak, and are comfortably
installed in Mr Barreda’s
Birth: 1827 Death: 1883
luxurious
and beautiful house, overlooking the
sea. He regrets much not to have
you come also, and hopes you may
by & by. He handed me your note
of Thursday, when I came down to
breakfast. The Asta Buruagas

staying with him, and Molina

is
expected.
I found everybody in New York,
including Mr Weed
Birth: 1797-11-15 Death: 1882-11-22
cheerful over
the prospects, politically, at Saratoga,
Philadelphia, and among the people.
Affectionately,
