          I think everything contained in it Mr.
Frémont had already told to you when
we met you in New York this summer.
You should have had this the day following my seeing you
but I have been really ill & only this morning am able to be up again.
If it is too late for Telhmans Journal
will you please return it to me as
in that case I will [insert: try to] find some other
paper equally creditable abroad as
one strong motive in publishing it
is to give Baron Humboldt & others
who take interest in such matters, a
proper idea of what Mr. Frémont is
doing.

Perhaps the best and most admirable
part of his journey was the fortitude with
which he returned to it after being worn down
with incessant pain for weeks. In my
position of wife I am denied the utterance of
such sentiments, but when I saw him rise
from his suffering and resolutely abandon the
care and comfort so grateful to him, to follow out
his work at every risk, I honored him more than words
