APPENDIX 



George C. Shattuck to George C. Shattuck, Jr., at 

 Eastport, Maine 

 My Son, — 



... I have also sent you letter paper said to be 

 made of linen rags, both for your journal and for the 

 letters you may have occasion to write. I beg you 

 to make a daily record of what you may see, and to 

 write to me as opportunity may offer. Let your 

 journal be written in a legible hand writing. . . . 



Possibly you may visit Mr. Lincoln's family at 

 Dennisville. . . . 



Boston, May 8, 1833. 



Extract from letter of George C. Shattuck, Jr., to 

 Ms father 



Eastport, May 9, 1833. 

 He [Mr. Audubon] insists much on a large jour- 

 nal in which he will make me write every night an 

 account of the day's work, and then read it to him. 

 I shall have to work like a horse as he says. He 

 is going to charter a vessel for himself, which is to 

 move entirely as he directs. He has written to a 

 friend in Philadelphia to come on and join us, and 

 Tom Lincoln will probably go too. The advantages 

 will be very great, and I can not be too grateful to 

 you for the permission and means to go. We will 

 probably sail in about a fortnight, and will be ab- 

 sent two and a half or three months. In the mean 

 time I shall be in training, under the direction of Mr. 

 Chadbourhe, and I am rejoiced I came on. I have 

 seen young Audubon also, and everything looks 

 favorable for a season of interest and instruction.
