little country place of thriving New Eng. farmers and neat dwellings - very much resembling Milo and Souris about the same variety of surface, undulating, not hilly, the same new appearance, occasional stumps to be seen, but unlike down east, as I sat at the window my eye ranged over brown fields of high waving corn, and broader fields of wheat just being harvested. My friend is in the family of a minister, - a good yankee from Old Mass. Another, a Home Miss. or graduate from Andover was there, a young man of bone and sinew both physical and mental: he preaches in four towns and walks ten or fifteen miles each time to do.

  I enjoyed myself well, was made very welcome staid four days. The trip on the lake was charming,  the water clear and placid, - the boat - Niagara, one of the 'floating pal[aces? page cut off]] of the west; we started about three, arrived at Milwaukee, 2 ? miles, at five, walked around the city while waiting for the man Miss W. expected to carry us to Wawatosa; the city reminded me of Bangor, the business part is on a flat, while the residences are on higher ground, it is more unfurnished and rough in appearance, though somewhat larger in proportion. We were disappointed in having any one come for us,  for they heard there was no boat come in, till morning, so we expected to have to spend the night at public house; but an old neighbor of Miss W., chanced to come to the same hotel, and politely offered to carry us out, accordingly at sunset, stood a handsome carriage at the door, and we had a fine moonlight ride of five miles, on plank road, by the side of Menomonee stream our companion very entertaining and a splendid singer.
