MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 



years ago when it was the residence of my dear parents and 

 sisters. 



"Aug* 8th to 18th spout at Rochester with my family and 

 regret that I cannot conveniently remain longer with them 

 for after such a long absence it is with regret that I leave 

 them so soon— but the winter is approaching and my object 

 is to go to Italy and there to pass the greater part of winter 

 —on the 18th took leave of my aged parents once more— my 

 sister Sarah accompanies me to spend a few weeks travelling 

 about in the U States it being our intention to visit N York 

 — Phila— Baltimore & Washington & perhaps Boston— our 

 first days traveling was very hot, dusty, disagreeable— nine 

 of us crowded in a stage coach for 60 miles to Auburn— then 

 80 more pleasantly and swiftly to Utica on a Rail Road where 

 we arrived late in the evening and put up at a very crowded 

 hotel (Buggs's). 



"19th after a refreshing nights rest and breakfast started 

 in a hired barouche to visit Trenton Falls"
