was so much cheaper. they had nothing in the world to live with on the passage as the had expected to take a cabin passage. they got some bedding of the captain and we but then enough to make out. Mr Titus laid in his provisions and other necessaries and used our dishes and every thing that they wanted. Toward night Miss Smith and Mr Titus & myself went to walk 3rd Was a very pleasant morning but cool on the water, We started about 10 in the morning and arrived at Dunkirk a distance of 45 miles in exactly 3 hours & 18 minutes. Amongst the passengers that come on board there was one family who were inclined to be very sociable, they very soon let us know that they were going to Milwaukee, that they had lived there for two years, and had been east about 6 months on a visit, that they took a cabin passage before but thought they would take a deck on this time and ever so much more. finally we told them where we come from they said they knew a woman by the name of Potter who came from Rhode Island, after asking some questions we found it to be Lydia Koppin? and her husband from Providence.

No. Have you any patterns of this? No. How wide is this ruffle? You can measure it.

She then looked and measured for about 10 minutes and then went away without thanking Miss S for being so picked to pieces.

About noon we landed at Cleveland Ohio. but could not see much of the place except a few cottages on the hill. I spent the day in sewing and finished off my checked dress. About sunset we arrived in Detroit where the boat lay all night. In the evening we all walked round the City. There are some very handsome buildings and some of the streets look very pretty but I did not like the looks of the place much. 5th very pleasant. We started about 8 and passed through St Clair
