I was quite charmed with Wawatosa, it so much resembles Milo and towns about there. the same variety of surface, undulating not hilly just about as new in appearance settled by thriving New Englanders with farms already under fine cultivation. From the window my eye ranged over broad fields of tall waving corn and still broader fields of wheat just being harvested. My friend too is in the family of a minister a real Yankee: another, a graduate from Andover last fall, a fine fellow, Home Min. there, he preaches in four towns walking ten or fifteen miles every time, just the right kind of man to do good. They made me very welcome I spent four days very pleasantly, then went to Milwaukee stopped two days at Mr. Mc. Dougal's I had never seen him before though some acquainted with Mrs. Mc D. in Bangor: I did not like him, he is very [ultra?] almost a {unclear], I was there over the Sabbath and he talked one tired with his discussions. Milwaukee is some like Bangor in appearance and situation a river forms the harbour the business part of the city is on the shore on a flat, while the residence are on the rising grounds some parts of the city are considerably elevated above the lake, but in walking round it did not seem near so pleasant a place as Bangor, more rough and unfinished; it is much larger in population I suppose, and a fine place for business; it has one Presbyterian one congregational and a small free church. A large number of Catholics, and foreigners of all descriptions. There were ten deaths by cholera the two days I was there, at a Norwegian settlement 20 or 30 miles back of Milwaukee there have been 30 deaths. The cholera has prevailed to some extent all around us: at Chicago, there have many died.
