Utica, June 21, 1855

Dear Sisters,

I have just succeeded in availing myself of ink and paper wherewith to communicate to you my sorrow for so long neglecting to inform you of my pleasant journey after leaving you on Monday and my safe landing at the depot in Utica early in the afternoon. - Soon after our good friends said Good bye to us in the cars at Saretoga, we found ourselves in Ballston. There Mr. Strong kindly saw us on the train for Schenecteds, and after bidding us a hasty adieu, barely had time to jump on board the cars bound for Troy before we were all again in motion. I had no trouble at all with my baggage and enjoyed my journey so much as I could wish to. but was not sorry when we reached the City and could give our bodies a little rest, and our stomachs too. for mine, at least was quite weary of digesting the sand and all manner of dust that was continually blowing in through the windows and forcing itself into our faces and mouths.
