course, J bought me a very pretty pair of silver buttons from an Egyptian woman she had brought them from Hindostan--Had a long visit from Madame Degollado this afternoon, she told me she had been Maid of Honor to Carlotta (Empress Carlota) and also that she had been robbed eight times in this country once having thirty thousand dollars worth of jewels & clothing taken -- J- went up to see the consul this evening so I finished my letters to Unclear & Ida. Hope I will have a good nights rest-- There are no wagons is this place, nothing but a few dump carts & drays, the latter are twice the width.
