On the Hudson Sept. 27, 1870

Dear Friends at Home I missed a good bye with Robbie and Eddie at the depot. I really did not see them drive away and hope I will find them there when I return. Rev. Thomas Williams, who was on his way to Pitsburgh took charge of my sachel to the depot in Utica, and his little grandaughter kept me fine company. Mary came to meet the train but we missed each other. I took the mittens Lewis sent to D Wms. and the Cen to D. Pierce, leaving sachel and umbrella at the depot We took dinner at cousin Mary's. She and Alick and Mr. Powell each gave something for my orphan boy
